Cant upgrade to 8.1 Error

“Sorry, it looks like this PC can't run Windows 8.1. This might be because the Users or Program Files folder is being redirected to another partition.”

 

Too bad Microsoft wont let me upgrade to Windows 8.1. If you have a system with a SSD as a boot drive and a storage drive with the users folder and or Program Files moved onto it to save space on the SSD Microsoft wont let you "upgrade."

 

As far as I’ve seen the only way to upgrade is to reformat your drives and reinstall Windows 8 then update to 8.1 and reinstall all your programs. Anybody know of a fix for this or anything I can try to get around wiping my drives?
