Yeah - found all that. I though clicking on it would give a pseudo- windows 7 experience. At least it's easier to get to a few bits now. I've also un-installed StartMenu8 now as well...

yes it same just the RTM just gets the GA rollup update to finish it

Is there a proper Microsoft kosher Win 8.1 ISO to download now? I'd like a copy of it for when I do a complete re-install over Christmas.

Left it installing overnight on "gathering info", until it failed. Then I realised AVG was stopping it. Suspended AVG and it installed fine.

Always best to uninstall any antivirus and disable a software firewall when upgrading windows, i certainly wouldn't leave the install unattended though, which is why i will do it tomorrow when i am not working.

Well the main pc update seems to have gone a whole lot better than the laptop did - and a little touch which was good was it picked up I use a screen reader and talked me through the whole process including the restart and installation - nice

OK may sound silly were do I get the 8.1 from?

I did a windows update and it didn't show there.

will it require me to enter a product key, as this machine was preinstalled and I don't have it.
