Windows 8 from TechNet/MSDN to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store, Possible ?

Windows 8 from TechNet/MSDN can not be updated to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store.
It says this edition dose not support update via Store.
Considering that Win8.1 is free for Win8 users, is there a way to bypass this ?
Can MSDN Windows 8 be converted to Proper Retail Win8 ?

Windows 8.1 available from MSDN Subscriber Downloads as well Vladimir, so you can get it from there if your subscription is still active. 
More information about updating to 8.1 on the Windows Store available here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/why-can-t-find-update-store.
This is more of a Windows 8 question because the windows team controls how updates work for their product.  I'd post this question over in http://answers.microsoft.com in the Windows section.
Thanks,
Mike
Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the MSDN Subscriptions feedback forum, because it is not feedback regarding the MSDN Subscription. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.) who
happen to post their question in my forum, but please don’t ignore it.  The links provided below I’ve collected to help with many issues we’ve seen.
For technical issues with Microsoft products that you would run into as an end user of those products, one great source of info and help is
http://answers.microsoft.com, which has sections for Windows, Hotmail, Office, IE, and other products.   Office related forums are also here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/contact-us-FX103894077.aspx
For Technical issues with Microsoft products that you might have as an IT professional (like more technical installation issues, or other IT issues), you should head to the TechNet Discussion forums at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product name.
For issues with products you might have as a Developer (like how to talk to APIs, what version of software do what, or other developer issues), you should head to the MSDN discussion forums at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product or issue.
If you’re asking a question particularly about one of the Microsoft Dynamics products, a great place to start is here:
http://community.dynamics.com/
If you really think your issue is related to the MSDN Subscription, and I screwed up, I apologize!  Please repost your question to the discussion forum and include much more detail about your problem, that could include screenshots of the issue
(do not include subscription information or product keys in your screenshots!), and/or links to the problem you’re seeing. 
If you really have no idea where to post this question, then you shouldn’t have posted here, because we have a forum just for you!  It’s called the ‘Where is the forum for…?’ forum and its here:

  • Login to WebApi (MVC + WebApi) with Microsoft Account from Windows Store App

    Hi
    How can I access a WebApi Controller (ASP.NET MVC+WebApi) that is secured with Microsoft Account from a Windows Store App?
    I have no idea how to login. I tried the LiveSDK but this gives me only access to OneDrive, Callender and so on.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks
    Guenter

    Hi Guenter,
    To be clear, you are using Microsoft account as login and at same time you have your own REST service for other functionalities?
    Let's say if you login with LiveSDk, you should be able to get some access token, see this for more information:
    Signing users in, after that use the token to access your REST service, as I understand REST service is a kind of http request, we can use HTTPClient to request data from the address.
    I'm afraid there is no existing sample here but the only thing I found is HTTPClient sample:
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/HttpClient-sample-55700664, you can use POST to send your token information to the server.

  • Windows 8.1 Problem with games from windows store.

    I've got a problem with games from windows store. The installation is going well without any problems, however when I try to open it it's loading and then it turns off. The same problem happens when I try to use Games for Windows. I've use a sfc scan and
    it shows some errors but unfortunately it cannot fix them. Should I share the CBS log or find the solution somewhere else? I hope you help, best regards.

    Hi,
    According to my experience, the problem like store game app open failed probably caused by hardware driver. such as Audio and Graphic driver. So, first of all, please try to reinstall these two driver to fix this problem for test.
    In addition, for SFC scan failed problem, it can be caused by many reasons, I would suggest you use another command to fix your system for test.
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    Also you can test SFC command in Windows 8.1 safe mode.
    Thirdly, if problem persists, please check Event Viewer, generally speaking, it would record the app open failed events.

  • How can we get a url for a "Meet Now" conference call from within the Windows Store App?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to get the url for the current meeting / new "Meet Now" call from within the Windows Store app?
    You have the option of inviting your current Lync contacts, but I don't see a way of giving a URL to clients that would launch Lync on their device, or take them to the web app.
    I can see how to get the link using the Outlook plugin, for pre-scheduled meetings. Is this link always the same and the one that should be used for an impromptu "Meet Now" meeting? It would still be good to know how to get this URL from within
    the store app so I can tell clients where to get it.
    Some people may be on Windows RT devices and not have access to the plugin in Outlook, and want to start a meeting at short notice and then invite others via email or pasting a link to them elsewhere.
    Any help appreciated.
    If I have answered your question, please mark it as the correct answer. If I have provided helpful information, please mark it as so.

    Hi,
    Agree with Holger, I check on my Lync Windows Store app and can't find the meeting URL as well.

    If it's a sideloaded LOB application, you can do this using a brokered component:

  • Error Code Ox8oo72ee4 - When I try to down load programs from Windows Store.

    When I try to download any programs from the Windows Store, they will not open. The error code is 0x80072ee4.
    I have tried several solutions short of re-installing Windows altogether. What should I do to remedy this problem? Thank you.
    PS, I am running Windows 8.1

    Go to the Start Screen or the Windows Modern UI screen
    Type in WSReset.exe
    Click on Run as administrator
    Once done now recheck the issue.

  • Invoking desktop app from Windows store App

    Hi,
    I have a Windows form desktop application developed using c#. I want to make use of the live tile feature available in WinRT apps (especially for Windows 10). The data in the live tile is to be fetched using WMI queries (Win32_LogicalDisk).
    How do I accomplish this? I don't want to rewrite the entire app. Live tiles should update on the background and on clicking the tile, my desktop app exe needs to be invoked. Is it possible to fetch WMI data and invoke exe from Windows Store apps?
    I tried using Brokered Windows Runtime components as given in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dmx/archive/2014/04/30/how-to-trigger-a-desktop-process-from-windows-store-apps-the-easy-way-using-the-brand-new-visual-studio-templates.aspx . But could not get it to
    work as I get a 'TypeLoadException'.
    Thanks in advance.

    First, we'll assume that you're writing an LOB app, not an app intended for Store distribution, as you are trying to use a brokered component.
    The use of a brokered component is the correct thing for you to do in this case, as neither WMI nor Process.Start are available to regular Windows Store apps.  It's just a matter of proper creation of the brokered windows component for you to get going.
    My buddy Prashant wrote a cheatsheet for Brokered Components. I know it works as I've followed it myself:

    I just noticed the same. Looking at the following error message it seems to do a version check and based on the results of that check I would think that it's not supported yet.
    System.ArgumentException: User agent string ("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.4; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; MSAuthHost/1.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko") does not contain match for Windows version regex pattern ("Windows NT (?<Version>6\.2|6\.3)").

  • Can't activate Windows 8.1 from Windows Store Upgrade.

    I have updated one of my client's computer to Windows 8.1 by the windows store after first reseting the Windows 8 from the Windows 8 Settings. After the update, the computer didn't activate and was asking for a product key. I have went ahead and opened up 'slui.exe 04' to activate the computer and get redirected to a microsoft agent after typing the IID. The microsoft agent said the computer needed to be activated by the manufactur. I then called the manufactur for assistance on this activation problem, and I get told I will need to pay for additional things like Virus Protection, and 24/7 tech support.. I'm trying to finish this computer up for a client, have it wiped and cleaned. I'm the technician helping her backup her data, clean, and wipe the computer. I need to pay at least $99? Thats just like asking to pay for a licence. A Windows 8.1 student licence is $69.. I shouldn't have to pay extra, and suffer without any money in offer back. I even told the tech support person on the phone that all I needed was the product key that was available with my computer, not extra tech support that already has what I know what to do if it occurs. I already know what anti virus programs to use and how to help my clients use them, I don't need assistance on fixing my or my clients blue screens or othe issues. I said to my client that my services are cheap all the way down to less than $30 and will be solved in less than two days. This computer is the only computer that wouldn't take it's embedded BIOS activation key, and automatically activate. I was asked to pay over $100, and I won't. I just need my client's computer to be activated to who ever (s)he is going to give it to.

    If you upgraded using the MS store, then it is Microsofts responsibilty, they should have given you a new Product key for 8.1.

  • How to clean install from upgraded window 8.1 SL via window store

    Hello friends, I am not that much expert in computer field. Please help me to solve my below mentioned problem.
    I purchased and hp laptop with window 8 preinstalled 1.8 Years ago. and i have updated my laptop to window 8.1 via window store, and everything is working fine till now. Now i want to know is there any way to keep a copy of my window 8.1 (I have
    already created recovery drive of window 8 of 21-22 GB, 8 months after purchasing my laptop). So that when i reset my laptop, again i dont have to download this large file of window 8.1 from window store. As i have searched on net regarding this and found
    that when i  am going to reset my pc with my recovery pendrive, the default/preinstalled OS i.e window 8 is going to be installed on my system and not the window 8.1.   Anyone please tell me how to keep my window 8.1 copy, so that i can reinstall
    the same in future winthout downloading the same. Thank you in advance for your help

    Assuming you can get your PC to boot from a USB memory stick, create a Recovery Drive. 
    You can make a System Image backup that can be accessed and restored from the recovery environment you can get to when you boot up.
    Open the File History control panel look for the link to the lower-left...

  • How to import a self signed certificate into Firefox from the windows store properly.

    I am currently trying to get a wcf service that runs on the same machine as the browser that is making the request. Since the connection is between a browser and an application running on the same machine security was orginally not a concern and it seemed fine to leave the request on http. The first issue arrised when Firefox did not allow mixed content calls (The website making the requests uses https). I have the service converted fine to run with Chrome and IE in https, but not for Firefox due to its use of a seperate store.
    For the windows store I created one CA cert which then issues the self signed cert which is then binded to a port I have the WCF service listening on (In my case this is: https://localhost:8502).
    This all needs to be done progammatically so I can't manually Add an Exception (which does work).
    If there was a way to use certutil (I am not very addept at using this tool at all) to add this exception it would be very helpful.
    The other method I have tried is exporting the selof signed cert and then importing it. Using IIS I can only export the file as .pfx which I can't seem to import into the Servers tab in the certificates interface (I assume this is the right location for it since the exception adds it here). I extracted the certificate from the port through code and imported it to the store, but it does not seem have the extra column defining the port like the exception cert does (It does not work wither).
    How do I do this correctly? Or is it even possible to have a self signed cert bypass all this? I only have it using self signed certs since the service is just running on localhost.

    HI,
    Adding an exception does work manually, but you would like to do this programmatically. This has more on the nSS functions [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Certificate_Download_Specification]
    I have not tried this you can add it to the file cert8.db if you can insert it into each profile you can access? (For example copy the file after you have manually added it?) that would overwrite any uniqueness however- not good for preserving data.
    The best advice would come from the security mailing list or the esr mailing list, that helps enterprise environments.

  • Drag and Drop files from other places to universal apps(windows store)

    Hi,
    Is there a possiblity to drag and drop a file from windows desktop or from other windows store app to my application. I tried searching samples, but it says about dragging an image with in the solution.
    The best example is drag and drop files into recycle bin. Is there a way possible for modern app(instead of recycle bin), or give an user similar experince as the same.
    If not windows8/windows8.1,could we expect in windows 10.
    I believe if it is not possible with XAML/c#, the same holds good for HTML5/JS
    Thanks & Regards Tejaswi Chandrapatla

    No. This is not supported.
    We cannot comment on upcoming versions.

  • Default Camera App Tile Missing and Won't Launch from c:\windows\camera. Also missing from Windows Store to reinstall.

    Hi There,
    I am deploying a custom windows 8.1 enterprise image via SCCM to Surface Tablets in our corporate environment.  We currently are using windows 8 ONLY on surface hardware.
    We only have 4 in the wild but all are having the same issue.  The camera app tile/shortcut is missing from the all applications menu.
    If I try to launch it from the c:\windows\camera folder i receive an error regarding Windows.UI.Xaml.dll as I believe it needs to be  called via the modern environment (not desktop).
    It dose not appear to be a hardware issue as third party camera apps seem to work.
    Also, when i search for the app in windows store it cannot be found.  I can find it when i search the store via IE but when I click on the link to open it in the windows store i am only presented with the stores front page.
    Any advice would be appreciated as my users are keen to use the camera on their surface pro 3's.
    Thanks

    This sounds as though the Camera app has become corrupt in your image. I would attempt to reimage one of the devices with a vanilla environment to see if the issue appears, if not, I would
    evaluate the difference between the Camera app in the vanilla environment and the production environment. Specifically, you may need to ensure that the correct version of Camera is provisioned in the base image.
