[SirReallySam]

In Windows 8.1 the Experience Index is gone.

As you can see on the screenshot that compares Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the experience index is shown on Windows 8.0 and not on Windows 8.1. There is also no way the “enable” this feature. It is gone for good.

I noticed this myself and was like... Oh ok.... Bad thing good thing?! please say I'm not sure what to think D:

[Kuzma]

I WANT IT BACK!

[_ASSASSIN_]

don't really care for it, who uses that thing to see their performance of their PC? seriously people use cinebench and firestrike extreme

[helping]

it was worthless anyway 

[DeViLzzz]

It was seriously pathetic and glad it is gone.

[defunkt]

It was pointless, anyone could get 7.9 or whatever it was.

Not to mention people can edit the registry or something and change it to 10, when it only maxed out at 7.9.LOL

Good news because WEI is worthless.

That is VERY old news. It was known during 8.1 Beta

Mine was always around 5 because I never upgraded to an SSD..

Removed because new smaller low power systems scored lower specially tablets running full windows.

Manufacturers complained...

I have 8.1 and still didn't know this

[martinrox1568]

aww. I remember when I felt so baller when I had everything maxed out on windows 7. Then I move to windows 8, and felt such a need to upgrade and max everything out there(even though I probably couldn't). Never thought I would miss such a useless benchmark.

Out of all honesty, it was a way to get to your performance tools and see your ratings, however many people never really used it.  And I don't know why they got rid of it but they shouldn't have.  It wasn't like it was annoying or anything.

Microsoft ruined the self worth feeling in Windows 8.1.  Although, it kinda makes sense since people with like a $100 notebook don't want to feel horrible

It's not completely gone. I just found this on one of my computers. It was an update from 8. Maybe left over from the registry. I haven't checked one that had 8.1 directly installed, but I'll be able to in a couple hours.

Nice! So its not completely gone

[mgsstar]

Finally they removed the info dialog because people can trick this into a high score and it isn't really useful imo. Makes the system properties look nicer and cleaner.
