Will this key upgrade Win 8.1 Home to 8.1 Pro? I'm not quite sure what they mean by Win 8.1 "core" in their description

I have used this about 15 times with no problems. Make sure that you go to the Windows Store and upgrade from 8 to 8.1 before you apply this pack. The upgrade from 8 to 8.1 takes a while so be prepared to wait.

Is this the first time that it has been used? And are you sure that it is not an upgrade? There is a way to get your key to work if you installed the upgrade as a full version. You can google it on the web, or do the following: Press the Windows key and type regedit(press enter)Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE(double chick on the)MediabootInstall(key in the right pane) Change the key's value from 1 to 0. Ext the registery, press the windows key again and type cmd. Right-click on the comand prompt icon and run it as an administrator. type: slmgr /rearm(press enter) reboot Windows. When you get back into Windows, you should be able to run the activation utility and activate Windows.

When I check the system applet, windows 8.1 is displayed as the operating system, rather than windows 8.1 pro. So it's either home or "standard", assuming there is such a thing.

To upgrade Windows 8.1 it isn't necessary to update BIOS. However, vendor recommends up to date BIOS if you have possibility or time to do it.

Flagrant, it means it comes with Win 7 and is up-gradable to 8 OEM specs Operating System: Windows 7 Professional Upgradable to Windows 8 Pro Thanks

It did with Win 7.1 and 8.1 is suppose to be an upgrade so I can't see why it wouldn't.

This will only upgrade you to Windows 8.1 Pro. The 32bit to 64bit upgrade requires that you obtain 64-bit Windows 8/8.1 Installation media (DVD/Download) and do a clean/fresh install of the operating system.

No you need the cheaper 'upgrade' version because you are technically upgrading from win8 regular to pro.

Hi! I use it on Windows 8.1 and really like it. Win 8.1 upgrade is also great. Jim

Yes you can and yes it is! About three days after I was using it, I began receiving a message from Windows that I could upgrade to 8.1. I did but I'd be careful if I were you - my Brother LC61 does not function like it used to even though I uploaded new drivers from their website. Brother says its not their problem, Microsoft said they could fix it for $149!!!

The old version is windows 8 or 8 with media pro both have available free downloads to upgrade to the new 8.1 or you will have to buy the windows 8.1 Full Install I beleive that it runs about 120 dollars at most retail stores ...Just as a side note you need to make sure that you have windows 7 or later before you purchase you cannot do the install from the other operating systems .Also a word to the wise although your system might meet all the requirements Microsoft didnt bother to tell everybody that their new windows isent compatible with some processor chips (example the dell dimmensions 8300 pentium 4) processor chip wont allow you to to switch to nk which it needs to run the system some processors wont work with this system make sure to check all your specs befor purchase

No it is a free upgrade. Windows 7 is still preferred in most corporate environments and Win 8 offers few benefits if you don't have a touch screen so they are giving you the option to upgrade in the future. It is a no strings attached deal.

Of course! All windows 8 computers are eligible for the free 8.1 upgrade... I have 8.1 on my ME400c now
