Howdy bizzibee! Welcome to the community.
Did you get Windows 8.1 fully installed? Or did you encounter y problems? The other question is which version of IE you are using: Desktop or Metro?
Try following this tutorial Getting to Start and see if it helps. It should be very simple.

i had many problems after I upgraded to 8.1. I have desktop.
I can pin apps to start. I cannot pin any else. I cannot pin a website to my start screen. The only option that I have is to save to favorites (in the desktop mode).

G'morning bizzibee.
I would suggest that you make sure that Windows 8.1 has been properly installed before doing anything else.
If someone else installed it for you, give them a call and have them take a look. If you did the install / upgrade yourself, make sure to "View your update history" and verify that you have the most current updates and that they all show "Successfully installed on: mm/dd/yyyy. IF you have any that show "Failed to install on" you will have to re-install them.
Once that's been done, it's really quite easy. When you're on a web page that you want to pin, open up Tools on the menu bar (or just press" Alt + T") and the select "Add site to apps". From that point, you can pin it wherever you'd like.
Hope this helps!

I tried opening Tools and don't get that option. All I have to choose from is: Downloads, Add-Ons, Set-Up Sync, Web Developer, Page Info, Options, Add-Block.

I hate to say it, but, you'll need to check with Microsoft. Try posting your question here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows and see if anyone is having a similar problem. Good luck!
I was afraid of that. Thanks for trying.
