I accessed it via the Microsoft site which launched the store, and I downloaded from there.
I'm currently on gathering data.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
When you go in the store you should see a box that mentions 8.1. It was the first tile I saw when I went to upgrade.

From Sys Info:
6.3.9600.16408
Let me know the reg key and and I'll double confirm that version number.

that is interesting the build number in the link earlier was 16384
if you do not mind try the AIDA64 software ( it is safe) this will give the date the RTM was 130821 or 21st August 2013

I hope it hasn't erased the email software I installed, I will not be a happy bunny, as it didn't tell me to backup.
Ok I won't have lost a lot but it's not the point.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
well i'm NOT happy.
I now cannot access or find my 5GHz network, I tried to reload the 64-bit drivers but no.
I have a Asus RT-N66U router with a Asus USB-N53
any ideas?
