However, don't start the install at all if you have not updated 8.0 (as much as possible, since that also will fail) with the standard 8.0 updates.Īnd, for me, most importantly, you need to update your graphics drivers (I have nvidea). This will not activate 8.1, you need your purchased 8.0 key to activate. Then, after using the generic key (available on this site to everyone) you can start the install of the burned dvd. You need to get Mosharino's download at the MS website following his instructions. The direct download to install method without dvd required for an 8.0 to 8.1 pro update will fail repeatedly (for me, at 72%, at least five times). I tried clearing the websetup folder and alos rebooting but of no avail any suggestions is it problem at my end or is it problem at server's end I called Microsoft and they said initially the server is located in east-asia and to try after some time and when I tried them again, another person said, it is actually from a cloud and needs a higher speed than the speed of LAN connection! and no suggestion how to get the iso!Īfter wasting at least a day and a half on this, I can say that Mosharino (#1 in this thread) was totally correct. So I thought I will download retail 8.1 pro when I use winsetupbox.exe, through internet, it asks for the key and when I enter the key I bought through online store, I get a confirmation saying the key is ok now when click next I it says "wait." then then it says "We can't connect at the moment" I also have a Lenovo which came with Win 7 and later "upgraded" (and phone activated!) to windows 8 Pro with WMC inspite of loading the KB 2871389 I am still not able to see the 8.1 free update in the store Windows 8 Free Download 32 Bit – 64 Bit ISO:ĭownload button below will let you download with fast speed, Windows 8 ISO (from the official source) which is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 Bit operating system and serves as a bootable DVD.I have a working ACER laptop (my daughter's) with Win 7 pre-installed I recently bought (online) win 8.1 pro to be installed when released on 19th October

Security in the operating system always worth a lot.
