MS pulled the 8.1 Upgrade (really Windows 8 SP1 as far as long term support goes) w/out letting all of the OEM's know well ahead of time, so that retailers could round up as many Windows 8 systems as possible. One of which took two attempts to get it right. Which was clean installed my myself, and know by experience of the prior two & others, that upgrades aren't the same. I was able to on a couple of older models (2010 & 2011 ones), but never bothered with that which shipped with my Dell. Many to this date still cannot apply the upgrade. Dell is in the right, MS should have been more concentrated on their largest user share, rather than using customers as a clinical study to see if this type of SP delivery would work seamlessly. Secondly, Dell is pointing the finger with MS, and MS is pointing the finger right back. First off, any warranty will likely be voided if the notebook is torn down this far (same with wireless cards). On some Dell notebooks that's still current, the only thing that prevents the upgrade is a USB SD card reader, not an item that many customers can do anything about. Wireless cards not working is a top issue, as well as OEM features no longer working as intended. I don't know why some people would decide to stay under Windows 8 as they'll have to eventually move to Windows 8.1, and it's even better if they upgrade to it right now.Īura, check out the Windows 8 section, and you'll very quickly find quite a number of Topics of failed upgrades from 8 to 8.1 for varying reasons, or there were hurdles to overcome after the upgrade.
