Hi there. First post here so please point me to in the right direction if I'm in the wrong place. I'd also like to thank you in advance for taking the time to help me.
As the title suggests, i'm one of the affected many who can't refresh 8.1 as I don't have the original disc or iso in which to create one. I have searched several forums and unless I have missed some important information, I cannot find how to download the correct ISO without becoming part of MSDN and can't seem to find a torrent that matches what I need... plus they mostly look dodgy.
I have also tried the trick of using the windows 8 installation to fool the windows 8.1 installation but have the same issue and error message I get when using the 8.1 installation i.e, "check your internet connection and try again".
The last resort I guess is to wipe the laptop and start again but would rather not but will take recommendation on this.
Let me know if there's any further information you need.

Windows 8.1 GB en version
Many thanks
