Solved Cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8
Hello Everyone,
So I have a Windows 8 Pro Product key and I am currently running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit. Last week I tried upgrading to Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit and everything went fine including the activation. The issue is when I go to install updates I can install one at a time and I will see the Update manager pull the one update down I selected and install then require me to reboot. The issue is when I reboot it will try to install all 119 updates even though I seen it only install one and of course it fails and has to revert changes. I have tried to install different updates but anytime I have to reboot the result is the same. I am just trying to get enough updates installed so I can upgrade to Windows 8.1 but I am having little luck. Any ideas?
