mlauzon Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know how to download the official 8.1 Pro x64 upgrade, because using WiFi takes forever, and I want to have it locally in case I need to factory default this laptop. And, for some reason can't seem to connect to the Windows Store at the moment, to try and continue the painful download of 8.1 that way.I am not interested in the RTM, I am looking for the final released version. This is also not about 8.1 (Pro) Update 1. Edited February 8, 2014 by mlauzon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both rtm and the final one are the same the only difference is that one is released earlier than the other one but they are exactly the same...

mlauzon Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I have no idea what 'GA Rollup' is....Also, it doesn't look like I can install your version, because this laptop came with Windows 8 retail, I used my Win8Pro key to make it Win8Pro.

If you already have your own Windows 8 retail keys you should be able download same Edition of Windows 8.1 via Windows Store >>>> Update to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
