Hello all,
I have a set of computers in a small business running win 8 pro volume licenses.
I noticed that the store doesn't seem to offer 8.1 as an update for these licenses. I even got a pop-up on one computer that asked me to upgrade, took me to the store, and left me hanging without an option to upgrade it.
Is there a way to put win 8.1 pro on these computers without a reinstall, even though I am using 8 pro volume license?
There is no specific 'upgrade' 8.1 pro iso, so will an 8.1 pro (sans upgrade) iso work instead, with an option, when run, to upgrade?
Or is there another solution, perhaps? I may try the 8.1 iso myself to see if it offers an upgrade choice, I'll post back.
Let me know!
