At work i have Windows 8 Pro installed from an MSDN ISO, having been waiting for the 8.1 update today i have now just seen a quote on Microsoft's site saying[FONT=WOL_Reg]
" [/FONT]If you installed Windows 8 using an MSDN ISO, you might be able to install Windows 8.1 using a similar ISO from MSDN"
Is there an easy upgrade option for this type of Windows 8 install?
Preferably, without losing any data
Cheers,
Jamie

Yes, you can simply upgrade with the MSDN .ISO DVD. It leaves everything intact.
Nice one, cheers for the confirmation.
