So my laptop came with Windows 8 in it
earlier also i tried to install windows 8.1 through Windows store but it would get struck at setting up 82%
i tried 3 5 times but failed so i gave up the idea about that and was using 8
Just few days ago i purchased Watch Dogs and installed it on my laptop and it got closed after first mission stating Watch Dogs has stopped working
Upon googling i came to know that it was due to AMD Dual Graphics and we have to disable it in order to play the game but i can;t find any option of disabling Dual Graphics
Then i downloaded the lasted AMD catalyst 14.7Beta but it was sated there that

  • Starting with AMD Catalyst 14.6 Beta, AMD will no longer support Windows 8.0 (and the WDDM 1.2 driver)
  • Windows 8.0 users should upgrade (for free) to Windows 8.1 to take advantage of the new features found in the AMD Catalyst 14.7 RC driver
  • AMD Catalyst 14.4 will remain available for users who wish to remain on Windows 8
    • A future AMD Catalyst release will allow for the WDDM 1.1 (Windows 7 driver) to be installed under Windows 8.0 for those users unable to upgrade to Windows 8.1
so once again i thought to update my os and started the update through Windows Store
believe me it too 2 -3 hour aand then my latop got shutdown and when i booted it was resetting the laptop saying that their was some problem
i got this code error 0xc1900101 -0x20003
i tried calling hp customer care and they told me like silly things that even 6th grade student knows and was not at all helpful
Then i Downloaded 8.1 ISO file from internet and also tried installing it but again same error
I don't want to loose my file and genuine windows so that's why i don't want to clean install windows 8.1
any help shall be appreciated

Did you make sure that Windows Update were up to date before attempting to update to Windows 8.1?
