Uh...no. I'm not some guy who will fall for such a comment. I've been using computers for a VERY long time. I've been using Linux for quite awhile as well. I'm not someone who needs to be saved...

Not sure what you're getting at. If you want Windows 8.1, encryption will be enabled by default. If you want 8.1 but don't want encryption, you can disable it. If you're upgrading to 8.1, you'll...
