Windows 8.1 是 Microsoft 的操作系统。它是所有 Windows 8 用户的免费升级。尽管此操作系统由 Microsoft 作为 Windows 8 的更新进行销售,但 Microsoft 的传统支持策略是将 Windows 8.1 视为服务包处理。

主流支持于 2018 年 1 月 9 日结束,而扩展支持于 2023 年 1 月 10 日结束。Windows 8 用户可以选择升级到 Windows 8.1,以在发布后的 2 年内获得支持。[1]尽管不再支持,但截至 2023 年 6 月,此操作系统仍在全球 0.68% 的计算机上使用。[2]

它是支持 Windows Media Center 的最后一个 Windows 版本,因为随着 Windows 10 的发布 Microsoft 停止了对此应用程序的支持。它也是能够创建 MS-DOS 8.00 启动盘的 Windows 的最后一个版本,因此可以包含任何形式的 MS-DOS,并在零售时随 DVD 版本一起提供,因为 Windows 10 及更高版本的物理零售副本附带 USB 闪存驱动器(尽管一些 OEM 仍然在 DVD 上提供某些版本的 Windows 10)。

Windows 8.1 (codenamed Windows Blue) is an operating system by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on 27 August 2013 and made generally available on 17 October 2013 as a free upgrade for Windows 8 users. Although the operating system was marketed by Microsoft as a major update for Windows 8, Microsoft's traditional support policy treats Windows 8.1 similarly to a service pack.

Mainstream support ended on 9 January 2018, while extended support ended on 10 January 2023. Windows 8 users were given the option to upgrade to Windows 8.1 in order to receive support within 2 years since its release.[3]

It is the last version of Windows to support single-core processors and the last perpetual release of Windows NT 6.x.

系统要求

Microsoft 建议将 Windows 8.1 安装在处理器速度至少为 1 GHz、至少 1 GB(x64 版本为 2 GB)、16 GB(x64 版本为 20 GB)硬盘空间以及基于 DirectX 9 的 WDDM 显示适配器或更好的显示适配器的系统上。[4]Windows 8.1 在放弃了对没有 CMPXCHG16b、PrefetchW 和 LAHF/SAHF 指令情况下 x64 处理器的支持,因为尝试在这些处理器上启动将导致 UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR 错误检查

Windows 8.1 最早可以安装在奔腾 4 的处理器上。Windows 8.1 的 x64 版本最早可以安装在带有 Socket AM2 的 Athlon 64 处理器上。Windows 8.1 也可以使用低至 512 MB 的 RAM 运行。

Microsoft recommends Windows 8.1 to be installed on a system with a processor with a speed of at least 1 GHz, at least 1 GB (2 GB for AMD64 versions) of RAM, 16 GB (20 GB for AMD64 versions) of hard drive space, and at least a DirectX 9-based WDDM display adapter.[5] The AMD64 version of Windows 8.1 drops support for processors without the CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW and LAHF/SAHF instructions, as attempting to boot the AMD64 version on these processors may result in an UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR bugcheck due to the lack of the instructions that the updated files (including the bootloader) require.

硬件兼容性

Windows 8.1 正式兼容最高可达 Skylake(第 6 代)的英特尔处理器。[6]在 Kaby Lake(第 7 代)到 Ice Lake(第 10 代)上,由于缺少 Windows 更新和英特尔显卡,因此不支持 8.1,但是,已经通过部分用户进行了黑客攻击使两者正常工作。对于 Tiger Lake(第 11 代)和 Alder Lake(第 12 代),英特尔显卡没有出现已知的黑客攻击,但 Ice Lake(第 10 代)、Tiger Lake(第 11 代)和 Alder Lake(第 12 代)的芯片组驱动程序已确认安装没有任何问题。

Windows 8.1 is officially compatible with Intel processors up to 6th generation. On 7th generation (up to 10th generation), Windows 8.1 is not supported due to lack of Windows Update and Intel Graphics, however, hacks have been made to get both working.[7] For 11th generation and 12th generation, no known hacks have appeared for Intel Graphics, but the chipset drivers for 10th generation, 11th generation, and 12th generation have been confirmed to install without any issues.
