Solved Windows 8.1 installation taking forever

II fail to understand why windows 8.1 is taking forever to install. I removed my third party anti virus and the installation process went by smoothly. I got to the one drive screen and logged on to Windows but so far the screen is blank though I can move the mouse around. Should I reboot or wait?

Are you upgrading or clean installing? If upgrading, by what method? If clean installing, are you using a retail disc or downloaded ISO? Please provide some additional background information and include your system specs (eg, make/model number of your laptop or desktop).

I upgraded via the windows store. I got the message that Windows is being prepared and now there is nothing. I have a dell inspiron 3537 i5 4200 6 gb ram and 750 gb hard drive. I even got to log on with my Hotmail password. .

Ok, thanks for that additional information. Unfortunately, I did an 8.1 clean install so I am not the best person to assist you but I'm sure your additional information will be helpful to the next responder. Good luck to you.

Never mind. Got it to work after I disabled the graphic card and added a beta driver.
