geeteam Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Download Windows 8.1 RTM If you are using Windows 8 and want to upgrade to Windows 8.1, following instructions this: 1. First of all go to Start Screen and click on Store tile to launch Windows Store. 2. Now you should see information about Windows 8.1 update, just click on it and then click on Download option. 3. It'll take a few minutes in downloading and installing the required files. It might restart your system to finish the installation process. 4. Once the setup process completes, you'll be asked to complete a few steps such as accepting the license terms, customize settings, creating a user account, etc. Finally, you'll have the brand new Windows 8.1 in your computer system. If you can't find Windows 8.1 update listed in Windows Store, you should wait for a few hours. Since Microsoft released Windows 8.1 just a few hours back, it'll take some time to appear in all regions. So better to wait for a few hours until it appears in your country. If you can't wait or if the update doesn't appear even after waiting for some hours, check out following steps: 1. An update "KB2871389" is required to update to Windows 8.1, so make sure this update is installed in your Windows 8 system. To check it, open Windows Update from Control Panel or Start Screen and check for new updates. If the update has not been installed in your system yet, Windows Update will automatically detect and download it. You can direct download and install the update using following links: Update for Windows 8 32bit (KB2871389) Update for Windows 8 for x64 (KB2871389) Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2871389) Once the update is installed successfully in your system, repeat the above mentioned steps to upgrade to Windows 8.1 through Windows Store. Now it should work without any problem. If you are using Windows 7, you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 using Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant. The steps for Windows 8.1 upgrade would be same as Windows 8 upgrade, so you can check out following tutorial to learn how to use Upgrade Assistant to upgrade to Windows 8.1 If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll need to perform a clean installation of Windows 8.1. You can't upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows XP or Windows Vista. Edited November 1, 2013 by geeteam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigen Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Also keep in mind that Windows 8 Enterprise edition, Windows 8 installed using KMS activation and Windows 8 installed using MSDN ISO and activated using product key which allows multiple activation, can't be upgraded to Windows 8.1 using Windows Store.Then where can we get windows 8.1 if not using the store?

tezza Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Also keep in mind that Windows 8 Enterprise edition, Windows 8 installed using KMS activation and Windows 8 installed using MSDN ISO and activated using product key which allows multiple activation, can't be upgraded to Windows 8.1 using Windows Store.Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 via the Store, upgrade on Windows 8 Pro WMC which was previously KMS + WMC upgrade key activatedWhat this post is aboutA procedure for creating a set of generic activation tokens (data.dat, tokens.dat) for Windows 8.1 Pro WMC. Using these tokens allows the installation and activation of Windows 8.1 Pro WMC if you have a Pro WMC upgrade key, without the need for a Windows 8/8.1 Pro key. Generic in this case means that the tokens don't contain any personally identifiable information or product keys except general/default ones.What this is NOT aboutUsing this procedure does NOT allow you to:* activate Windows 8.1 Enterprise* activate Windows 8.1 Pro (without WMC)* activate Windows 8.1 Pro WMC without a WMC upgrade key* activate with an unused WMC upgrade key from the free promotion from 2012 (probably, untested)* reuse the same WMC upgrade key on several computersIf you are reusing a previously activated WMC upgrade key, it can only be reused on the identical computer that it was previously activated on.Where the idea is fromWhen you upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store, you are not asked to reenter your product key. The upgrade process can therefore migrate the activation tokens from v1 used in Windows 8 to v2 used in Windows 8.1. At the same time, several people posted saying that they successfully upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 via the Store, even though they were doing the upgrade on Windows 8 Pro WMC which was previously KMS + WMC upgrade key activated, and the system staid activated. We must therefore conclude thata) the upgrade process is able to migrate v1 tokens to v2 even if no retail Pro key was usedb) the resulting v2 tokens accept a WMC upgrade keyRequired ingredients* Windows 8 Pro retail ISO (for example, en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso from MSDN)* Microsoft Toolkit (for example, v2.4.9)* KB2871389 update from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2871389 , matching your system (x86/x64) (this is the only update necessary to make the Windows 8.1 upgrade visible in the Windows Store)The procedure (duration 1.5+ hours depending on Internet speed)(the use of a Virtual Machine is highly recommended)0) Disconnect from the Internet1) Install Windows 8 Pro using the Windows 8 Pro KMS client setup key (GVLK) ending J8CK42) KMS activate using Microsoft Toolkit3) Use the "Add feature" function to upgrade to WMC, using the Pro WMC default key ending QGJXW4) Install the KB2871389 update5) Connect to the Internet6) Visit the Windows Store and start the Windows 8.1 upgrade7) Go have a lunch break, watch a movie or take a nap8) Once the Windows 8.1 upgrade completes, the procedure is completeThe resultYou will find a set of activation tokens (data.dat, tokens.dat) in \Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0. Stop SPPSVC, then take a copy of them (data.dat is a hidden file). These are the tokens you are looking for.What you can do with the tokens (tested and confirmed to work)For example, you have a WMC upgrade key that you previously used in Windows 8. On the same PC, you can make a clean installation of Windows 8.1 Pro WMC, insert the tokens you just created, and enter your WMC upgrade key. The key will be accepted and the system is activatable. Sample procedure:1) Install Windows 8.1 Pro with default key ending C9WKB2) Upgrade to WMC using default key ending JK7QT3) Stop SPPSVC4) Overwrite the files in \Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0 with the tokens created above5) Insert your WMC upgrade key with "slmgr /ipk wmc-upgrade-key" from elevated command prompt6) If the WMC upgrade key matches the PC, you can activate onlineConclusionThe above procedure results in a set of generic activation tokens, which can be inserted into a clean installation of Windows 8.1 Pro WMC (or Windows 8.1 Pro upgraded to WMC), without the need for a Pro key. The system will accept a WMC upgrade key and will activate, provided that the key used matches the PC. It is therefore possible to install and activate Windows 8.1 Pro WMC with nothing but a WMC upgrade key. The tokens contain no personally identifiable information and can in theory be safely shared.Credits Kelorgo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
