Ok. Get from Windows Update like a Service Pack?

To get Windows 8.1, you either need to have Windows 8 installed, and upgrade to it from the Microsoft Store app, or get physical copy of 8.1.

Better download Full Windows 8.1 DVD and install it with fake serial and then change to your serial ...

(Windows 8 serial not working in windows 8.1 Install)

is the best way ... Less size , Less time and less chance to get some bug.

USB 3.0 Sansa Extreme to SSD

takes about 10~ Mints to install full windows.

Its the same thing. I had no issues going from 8 to 8.1 upgrading from the Microsoft Store. Took me ~4 minutes to upgrade, including using disk cleanup to get rid of the Windows.old file.

Jesus, I am saying, if you already have Windows 8 from launch or whatever, from an older install. Obviously if you are going from Windows 7, you should just install full 8.1 version.

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 13, 2014

Well I have 8.1 Preview installed right now. I was planning on just doing a clean install though maybe I don't have to?

If so I know I can get an 8.1 iso and there is a way to use my 8.0 key but just was wondering if worth the hassle. The Store upgrade process does seem kinda dumb but I could deal with that.

Another leaked screenshot of Windows 8.1 update 1. It seems that Windows App is getting Windowed. Hmmmmmmmmm

Is there any tweaks or stuff that needs to be calibrated with Windows 8.1 ? i though i should ask here.

Drone · Jan 27, 2014

Rumor

Windows 8.1 update 1 release falls on a Patch Tuesday, which happens to be March 11th.

Apparently update 1 will also come with some improvements that Microsoft has been working on, which will improve memory usage and disk space requirements, thus allowing Windows 8.1 update 1 to even run on cheaper small tablets. Users are also expected to receive the ability to pin Metro-style applications to desktop task bars, the update may also bring close boxes for said applications. The home screen may come with dedicated power and search buttons, apart from a right-click context menu for mouse users.

Mussels · Jan 27, 2014

so i have a windows 8 key from the cheap rollout thing, and a 60GB SSD.

how do i go about a fresh install of 8.1 using my key for 8?

Just pop in your dvd or usb, install 8.1 and use 8 key when prompted. Windows 8 key works on 8 (obviously), 8.1 and it will work on 8.1 update 1 which arrives in March.

uggghhhh, a windows 8 key cant download the 8.1 file? whyyyyyy

8.1 can be obtained only through the Windows Store as an update for those who already have 8 installed (not iso). But there is an ISO of Windows 8.1 in teh interwebz. The only thing I can help with is SHA-1 hash code for the U.S. English 64-bit Windows 8.1 is BC2F7FF5C91C9F0F8676E39E703085C65072139B so if you do find an iso check its hash sum if it matches then it's a real iso.

Mussels · Jan 27, 2014

you can trick the downloader into working. routine is as follows:

run the 8.0 downloader, quit it once it starts downloading
run 8.1 downloader now and it wont ask for a key

install 8.1 with official dummy key from MS page here

once windows has installed, change your product key to your real one. 8.0 keys activate in 8.1 this way.

Drone · Jan 27, 2014

If you're using that trick please get back here when it's done because I didn't try that. I just upgraded from 8 to 8.1. But I've seen how subscribers made a clean 8.1 install from an iso using 8 key.

im downloading now, and plan on a clean install to a second hand 60GB intel 520 SSD i picked up cheap

its almost 1am tho, so i'll have to give up and sleep soon.

Mussels · Jan 27, 2014

yep, it worked and activated fine. ugly OS.... so, so ugly.

happita · Jan 27, 2014

I shudder to think how I will react to it's looks when I install 8.1 pro for the first time when I get my R9 290 later this week -_-

I recommend Start8 and ModernMix, by Stardock. Between them both, you get your W7 desktop back along with the improvements in speed, etc. And you can pin the apps, like update 1 is supposed to do.

EDIT: Oh, and you'll be able to run apps in smaller windows within the desktop environment.
