Solved Error trying to upgrade 8.0 pro 64bit to 8.1 pro.

It's been such a long time since I did this on my PC , I've forgotten all the tricks and tips to get it to work...

hoping someone can help...


I'm trying to upgrade my sons PC from 8.0 pro (64) to 8.1 using the store...


It downloads the file and during the initial install (bar moving along in the install list in the store) it stops with..

Unable to install (error 0xc190010b)

I have cleared the store cache (more times that I need to) and run the windows upade error checker.

you should be able to run the update manually

Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

I managed in the end , I did a clean boot , Microsoft services only and it updated just fine...

I have no idea what was blocking the upgrade as there was nothing there I could see that SHOULD have affected it.
