#MANUALLY DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 ISO FILE INSTALL#
Let’s go ahead and listen to Microsoft here and download and install any updates that the Windows 8.1 installer is asking for, it’s the default option anyway.Īfter the “Getting updates” Window you’ll be prompted to agree to the License Terms: You’ll probably get a security pop-up, go ahead and run it, or accept or whatever! If you don’t you’re going to want to contact whoever installed Windows 8 on your device in the first place.Ī Simple double-click on the ISO will mount it (if your using Windows 8)Īfter double-clicking the ISO file, navigate to “Computer” and you should see something like this: Luckily I have access to an ISO which was made available today for Microsoft Volume Licensing customers, so if you’re in the same boat as me, you probably have some sort of access to the VLSC portal. Well that’s probably because the version of Windows 8 Pro you’re using is installed by an Enterprise using KMS activation…….like me!ĭon’t panic, you can still upgrade, you’re just going to have to get your hands on the actual Windows 8.1 Pro ISO/Image/Disc STILL don’t see the Windows 8.1 update on the front page of the Windows Store? Do you only see this? Have you done all your updates and prerequisites as requested by Microsoft? Want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro FROM Windows 8 Pro? ***Update – I got to activate my copy of Windows 8.1 Pro, please see below*** Updated on 4:46pm eastern time. ***Update – Looks like there is some sort of activation error after you update to 8.1, so proceed with caution***
