How To Get Windows 8.1 On Your PC Now by change247(m): 7:23pm On May 24, 2016
How to Get Windows 8.1 on Your PC Now It's no secret that Windows 8 has met with only a
lukewarm reception, but life in the tech world
moves quickly, and now Windows 8.1 is on the
way. If you've installed Windows 8, it's worth downloading the
recently released free preview version of
Windows 8.1. By doing so, you will be able to take
advantage of the updated OS's personalization
and services improvements. The final build will be
out later this year. Curious Windows 7 users can also check out 8.1
by creating and installing an ISO file from the
Microsoft website. I've written about ISO-creating
concepts.
Windows 8 users update to Windows 8.1 through
the Windows Store. Here's how to go about it if you've already got Windows 8 installed.

Step 1: Verify that you have a recovery partition on your
hard drive. Access the Command Prompt from the
Windows 8 Search charm by entering the term
Command. Right click on the result and choose
Run as Administrator from the options.
Confirm at the prompts, and then enter the term "recimg /showcurrent" at the Command Prompt
to identify if there is a recovery image present.


Step 2: Create a recovery image if, in the previous step, a
"no active recovery image" error appears.
Create the image by creating a folder called
Refreshimage at the Command Prompt and then
entering "recimg -createimage c:\refreshimage"
and Enter. Tip: The create folder command is "mkdir c: \refresiimage" and then Enter.

Step 3: Create a USB recovery drive. This will allow you to
revert back to your previous install from external
media if you need to.
Enter the term Recovery in the Search charm and
touch or click Settings. Then choose Create a
Recovery Drive and the tool will open. Choose Copy the Recovery Partition from the PC to
the Recovery Drive checkbox and choose Next.
Then insert a USB drive, choose it from the options
presented and touch or click Next followed by
Create. Allow the file transfer to take place and
then choose Finish. Then remove and store the flash drive.


Step 4: Browse to the Windows 8.1 Preview Web page and choose the Get It Now button. Then follow the
prompts to open the file and allow the install to
take place. Tip: Back up your personal data before updating any operating system. An update to Windows 8.1
from Windows 8 should retain Windows settings,
personal files and most apps.


Step 5: Restart the PC when prompted, and then open the
Store by touching or clicking on the Store tile. Then
choose the Update Windows tile or any Update
Windows prompt.

Step 6: Select Download and allow the download to
proceed. Follow the prompts to restart and allow
the setup to proceed. Follow the prompts to set up
the account, including entering a security code
that can be sent by email when prompted.


Step 7: Explore the new features, which include
navigation arrows where there was previously
white space, and other navigation tools, like a
Windows icon for flipping between classic
desktop and Windows 8 Start page. Tip: You'll need your Windows 8 product key when you
update to the final edition of Windows 8.1 later
this year.
