Hi all.
I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 (genuine) on my main computer on a 60gb SSD. However my girlfriend hated Windows 8, so when windows 8.1 preview came out, I tried to upgrade to that from the Windows store.... That however completely mucked up. My computer was stuck in limbo, the install wouldn't complete, the hard drive was full. It was a mess.
So I reinstalled Windows 8.1 preview using the guide on here, and using the preview key given out... Now however I need to install Windows 8.1 proper using my actual key.
So what is my best way to do this. Should I reinstall Windows 8 from my disc, then install Windows 8.1 from the store? I know it has been said there is no Windows 8.1 iso given out to the wider public. So is that my best/only option?
Many thanks for any help and advice.
Edit : Ah is seems from this post
Windows 8.1 now available to download | The Verge
that I will indeed need to reinstall Windows 8 before upgrading to 8.1 via the Store (2nd time lucky!)
Ah well, it will be good to see the old girl one more time.
