"Gotcha. WSUS issues should only apply if you are a systems administrator with a Windows server running WSUS Services. You can typically block this update via WSUS before it is deployed to machines so it becomes a non-problem.
Otherwise, EjghtForums is a great place."
I'm so confused now.........I don't exactly unerstand your above comment. It might help to let you know that I'm a senior citizen and not familiar with all the computer jargon and technical stuff. This whole thing with upgrading to 8.1 and then the new rollout, in my opinion, does not provide all the necessary information in one place that you need to have to do it correctly, at least for those of us who are technically-challenged. That's why I'm so apprehensive in going from 8 to 8.1. I've only had this laptop since December 2013 and my first HP. I think I need to get someone to do it for me. I'm going to check with my son and/or his girlfriend to see if they can help me. Thy are more familiar with the ins and outs of computers.
You have been very helpful....and I appreciate your taking time to do so.
Thank you.
