[QUOTE="gator2013, post: 361478, member: 35102"] Aaron, The first things that comes to mind is what other programs do you have installed? It could be something as simple as one of your existing programs is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 is a whole new OS and not a simple update. Driver incompatibility has also been a common problem after the upgrade from 8 to 8.1 so before you attempt the upgrade again make sure you have the latest drivers as well as windows updates. What antivirus are you running if any? Some may not be ready for 8.1 My HP (purchased last Dec) and preinstalled with 8.0 handled the upgrade to 8.1 quite well but I did the upgrade after just two days and had not installed any additional programs. I waited till after the upgrade to install anything that wasn't present when I got it so I avoided any conflicts with existing programs. [/QUOTE]
