report, you will need to install six different updates in the correct order to successfully deploy this new pack of improvements on your computer. These leaks are available for all supported platforms — x86, x64 and ARM based builds of the OS. Redmond is shipping these updates in the form of MSU installers, as was the case last time around, and all you need to start installation is double-clicking to open the files. Reboots necessary in most instances. Here it the correct order, with download links: Windows 8.1 Update 1 x86 KB2919442 KB2939087 KB2919355 KB2932046 KB2938439 KB2937592 Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 KB2919442 KB2939087 KB2919355 KB2932046 KB2938439 KB2937592 Windows 8.1 Update 1 ARM KB2919442 KB2939087 KB2919355 KB2932046 KB2938439 KB2937592 No confirmation whatsoever that these files are from the final RTM version of Windows 8.1 Update 1, or Microsoft is just carrying out another test before launching the final product. In any case, this looks like an improved version of the previous leak. And since these are available on the official servers, there should be no issues with security. However, the company is expected to start shipping this new version via Patch Tuesday on April 8. MSDN subscribers will reportedly get access to these at the start of next month. So get those download engines started if you want to deploy this newest flavor of Windows.]]>

6 versions in order is too much! It’s making my head hurt. lol. I’m glad this looks like an improved version, but I’m going to wait a bit until it’s a little more simple than 6 in a row.
Yeppers, especially since the OFFICIAL release is only a couple of weeks away. 🙂
I’m with you guys! I’ll wait a couple weeks and save myself 6 separate downloads! ha!
Yeah, I’m with you guys, waiting for the officially OFFICIAL links!
Is this a later build than the previous one?
In all probability it should be, otherwise why bother putting them up again. Besides, there were reports that the previous one was not actually the final RTM version, so.
You’re right, Fahad. It wouldn’t be the first time a company tried to shine crap into gold, but there’s no point in putting this out with the official release so close unless it’s a later build.
The last four links under x64 gave a 404 error 🙁
If this is true, then I’m definitely with the majority. I’m just going to wait until this is officially released. it is not worth the risk at this point.
Just send it out if it’s done. Why wait until April?? MS makes me scratch my head sometimes. fIrst they barely announce they are doing it at all then they leak their own stuff like they are trying to beat leakers and have a laugh. I wouldn’t be surprised if windows 9 gets leaked by them in April.. only to be pulled for the end of the year haha.
