Windows 8.1: Read this BEFORE updating - especially you, IT admins

ageinghack

What about an unused licence for Windows 8?

I bought a licence for Windows 8 at the cheapo rate. When I tried to install, it fell over at the final hurdle thanks to something from Acronis.

Given the reports of woes for W8, I never got round to installing it.

So, if I try again, do I have to install * and then get 8.1?

Bet they haven't thought of that one.
