Windows Defender ON or OFF During The Update From Windows 8 To Windows 8.1

Hi,

I am going to update my windows 8 pro to windows 8.1 today.  I would like to know during the update should I have to turn off my windows defender or can I leave it on. I am updating my windows 8.1 through app store. ( I don't use any other anti virus)

Benedict2012,

You wont need to do anything with Windows Defender before performing the upgrade to Windows 8.1. 

Before you perform the upgrade though, you might benefit from taking a look at the Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 webpage.  It contains information on how to prepare for the upgrade and how exactly to perform it.

I hope this helps!
