I get this error code every time I try and download the upgrade. It gets to around 16%-22% complete before it stops. I'll come back and I'll see this error screen, screenshot below. I've tried restarting my PC a hundred times and tried re-installing it a hundred times. I bought Windows 8 Pro a few months back. I also went into Window Update and made sure every thing was installed, all are updated to the latest. Any idea what's going on?

What do you mean a "Windows 8 refresh"? What is that? I installed all my updates before I tried installing 8.1. 8.1 wouldn't even show up in the Windows Store until I did those updates, I had like 44 updates to do.

Windows 8 has a option to refresh ( reinstall ) Windows 8 without losing your personal data, delate only program's. Dhat option is under Windows 8 metro options ( bottom right corner , settings or change settings to my pc) under general. check your Windows install whit sfc /scannow I can't take some time about 10-20 min depending on your disk, if you get message dhat windows find some error's and dhat can't reper dhem you will ned to do refresh to install Win 8.1. Dhat worked for me. Sorry for bad English.

I did the sfc /scannow and got this message after it completed. What should I do now?

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow
