Pro non-volume license. That worked for Win8 also. But with 8 Volume license, you can't upgrade to 8.1 non-VL.

Through the Windows App Store if I understood correctly but you can also use a ISO and upgrade that way just like if you were installing a new OS.
(Or upgrade from 8 to 8.1 though if doing it that way I recommend backing up files and then doing a clean install.)

Maybe it'll be pushed to WU as well as a critical update to get as many people as possible to upgrade to it. Smile

Yes but afaik you cant upgrade right now. You can either get a leaked 8.1 iso or wait till october 18 when they officially release the update

Installed it this morning, other than different build version (6.3.9600.16408 now) can't see anything changed visually. Windows 8.1 Pro already ran really well so hard to notice an improvement.

EDIT: As for changes it should be pretty much unnoticeable but lots of system files were updated (Several .Net and DirectX core files as well.) Kernel got updated (Thus the new build version.) and the Skydrive folder was added to the index locations but that's the one and only change I noticed without looking at the date of modified files and such.

It should work with Windows 8.1 build 16384 or what it was but it'll be offered through Windows update later this week (Tuesday?) according to a post in that thread.
(In case there's other versions of the update for say different localizations for example.)

Sorry if it was answered before plenty of times but Is there any good release of windows 8 ?

or do I just download it from microsoft site ?

Are there different releases of 8 and 8.1 ? or do I just update after installing 8 and maybe cracking?


I am on 7 for many years now and always been using BIE editions. We have new pc in university all with 8.0 installed on ocs. And it seems snappier than win7

Launch the installation through here, if you don't see it in your Windows Store (for W8 users).
