If you have the legit Windows 8.0 os, you can just visit store and search for upgrade.Same should be applicable to preactivated windows 8.0 for easy upgrade to 8.1.



But seriouly am not getting the later part of ur post! Kindly reframe n post what i can grab easily.


You said you have windows 8, you stil talking abt some1 buying Ubuntu and installing 8.1 (IDG). And if u are upgrading from store or getting a bootable disc/flash. You wont lose a thang except the mere configurations. And some instald apps malfunctioning(Applcble To bootable procedre alone).
