windows 8 to 8.1 and disk partioning

[Angrboda]

You understand that there's a difference between the OS build version and the kernel version, yes?

...I do not think it means what you think it means.

Really? Tell me how 'Windows 6.2' doesn't refer to the NT kernel, and how 'Windows 8.1' isn't a marketing name for the entire kernel + user space build.

Then tell me again how it doesn't mean what I think it means.

You didn't say 'marketing name', you said build version, a concept that in general and in the context of Microsoft Windows operating systems releases refers to something entirely different.

Oh, and if you insist, 'build version doesn't mean what you think it means'.

In software versioning, the build number is often used as a versioning identifier subordinate to, and more finely graded than, the version number. For example, various iterations of an application might be called "Acme FooWare 6.0", but in the "Help > About" dialog, the exact iteration will be identified with a longer, unique identifier that includes both the version number and the build number (for example, Acme FooWare 6.0.3.2246).
