Ok chaps were all on 8.1 from windows 8
But disaster some dodgy toolbar has upset every thing and you need to refresh
eg Option one in the recovery section
But it then asks you to insert Media ..... What media i here you say
Windows 8 Disk .........Nope you need a 8.1 Disk
We don't have one nor can you get one or download one as the 8.1 download box found on
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
ask's you for a Key a 8.1 Key now who has one of them yet ?????
so Don't panic there is a work around so here goes
on the Download page click and install and run the 8 using your 8 key set it downloading but pause at 1%
and close the down loader now run the 8.1 down loader this will give you a error argggggg don't panic
run it again
and OOOOOO its downloading nice when finished it will give you the option to do a usb flash or DVD and shows your 8 key
This has registered the 8 Key as a 8.1 Key Now with USB in hand Yippppeee
errr Nope this is Microsoft there is a But
in 8.1 a refresh will wipe 8 completely of your HD so back every thing up
when its finished refreshing you will need to put all your drivers on some windows will do for ya
Now you need to register 8.1 again on the metro screem right click on your name and change profile picture
this will then tell you that it needs to be registered to edit using your 8 Key yes the 8 Key enter this and Bingo all done
I would get this wile you can before they stop this i think at some point they will offer this at some point or offer a chargeable disk
Hope this helps Guys
