Strange that you find this in your machine. For me, I see Windows 8 and 8.1 (8.1 is a hair less responsive than 8) miles more responsive and smoother than Windows 7.

Sorry to come off topic but it's very nice to see people so much eager to help and informative like anshad Edavana. Really thanks man

Hello My MB has ALC898 audio chip. Should I stay with the default Windows 8.1 HD audio or install the driver from Realtek (which is R2.71 the latest version) My system is used for gaming BTW. Thanks.

OP what is the size of the 8.1 pro iso you get finally ?

Always expect all sorts of crap when you upgrade Windows. Clean install from scratch(boot from 8.1 DVD or usb, format c: and install). But just in case, have a backup plan ready before you start, that is a Windows 8 DVD and a valid product key in case something got messed up when installing 8.1...

For 8.1 pro, what ISO size you finally get? Mine is 3.05GB. Is that what you get too?

I installed Win8 more than once before and I have GeForce 680GTX and never had a problem. I usually uninstall the driver windows installed for NVidia and then I install the latest one from NVidia site. Never had an issue

It would be great to share those "leaked keys". Of course everybody knows they will not activate, but just to help overcome the first install obstacle. I can't see any piracy here.

YES, unfortunately ! You have to install 8, then from 8 you upgrade to 8.1, which is stupid if you ask me !

WAIT !! My bad ! I am sorry, it works !!! the additional link at the end of your post explains things in a wrong way, but your method works ! Thanks man and sorry again.. Now the problem would be how to clean install 8.1 with my 8 key !

Learn some English. Win8 product key will NOT work to install Win8.1 from scratch(clean install from boot media like USB or DVD).

Useless trick. This trick doesn't allow current Win8 key owners to download 8.1 ISO so I can't see where the trick is !

It won't work, at least when you start a clean install !

Please can you tell what does this mean generic key? Do you mean the preview key? Can you share that generic key? I have my windows 8 key but like the others say I can't use it to clean install 8.1

I second that, I totally agree that full installation of win 8 then upgrade to 8.1 is very stupid and personally I'm not gonna do it on my PC

A stupid rep to be more specific.
