Guide | How To [How-To] directly upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 without all updates

[Deleted member 178]

hi guys,

If you are used to often reinstall your system from scratch and you only have Win8 installation disk/recovery partition and you want update right away to Win8.1 without downloading and installing the whole pack of updates (around 750mb...that will be deleted anyway) for Win8; this is what you have to do:

1- open Windows Updates
2- check for updates
3- your PC needs Windows updates, KB 2871389 and KB 2917499, before Windows 8.1 becomes available to you in the Store; look for them in Windows Updates and install them.
4- reboot, Windows will install the updates.
5- it is done, now you can upgrade to Win8.1 via Windows Store

good luck
