Windows 8.1 Update from Windows 8 Giving Error Message During Installation

I was instructed to use a generic Windows 8.1 key, and then change it to my Windows 8 key after installation. But, at either 94% or 96%, it gives me the following error during the installation:
Windows 8.1 Update has failed.
I have tried everything online and can't find anyway around it. In the meantime, all of my Windows Store apps are broken, and thus I can't update from the Windows Store. I have the correct ISO files from http://microsoft.com/ and I even have the option to
install Windows 8.1 from a program that was automatically added to the "Classic Start Menu" that was presumably placed by Windows automatically. No matter how I attempt to install it, it fails. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me
soon.
Thank you,
Ben

Hi,

What's the meaning of it?
Did you update from Windows 8 operating system from Window store?
Please locate to %WINDIR%\Panther, see if there is any clue in the setupact.log and setuperr.log.
Meanwhile, please refresh or reset your original Windows 8 system to ensure it's complete and correct.
Then retry to update to Windows 8.1 from Windows Store.

How to install Windows 8.1 update from Windows 8 on MacBook Pro)?

I have a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running OS Mavericks and Windows 8 Pro on Bootcamp.
I want to install Windows 8.1 on my Win 8 partition, but I have no idea how to do it. Most preferably, I wouldn't want to lose all of my files.
Could someone help me with step-by-step instructions?
Thanks!

You'll be fine with 8.1 it is supported by Apple, first install the new boot camp drivers from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720
Launch windows update and install any requires updates then restart. Go into the (windows) App Store and you'll see the option to download 8.1. It will keep all your apps, files, etc.

Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook,etc

Hello, I am writing as I am experiencing some issues with my favorite web browser after updating to Windows 8.1. Here are some details. I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook. It is like there is some kind of Flikr effect between the desktop and the images and between the images and the browser (almost like old 16 bit video games flikering). It is not too bad but it is an issue. I have tried resetting firefox and restarting the computer. I haven't tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall yet.

thank you for helping, the issue seems to have been caused by the hardware accelerator

How Do You Filter, Or Stop Automatic Updates From Windows or HP to a Windows 8, 2000 Notebook PC.

I would like to know how I can see automatic updates from Windows or HP before they go into my computer? The reason is, is that these auto updates mess up my IE and my printer software. I have a HP 2000 Notebook PC, Windows 8, 64 bit. I would like to be able to filter or see these updates before they go in my computer. Is there anything I can do, or a setting I can set?
Thanks,
Susie

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

And whether the preinstalled apps like office13 McAfee will remain or removed from system..?

Windows 8 upgrading to pro from standard/single language edition pricing, whats your thought on this

Hi All
Being in the Tech industry and working day to day life of users issue i have noticed that, even though uncommon, i would need to upgrade from windows 8/8.1 to Pro, and my clients, with this general question, Why is it so expensive if i already got windows
8, shouldnt it have most of the features and now we just buying the addons? Basic response is yes they are right but you're actually purchasing a WHOLE key and not a partial key from MS. But it does leave a section of question, why should i spend $118 - 140
to upgrade to Pro when most of the features are already built in?
Shouldnt microsoft upgrade the key and just install the missing features at a lower price ? e.g if single licensing is $90 and pro is $110, they charge u $20 instead of $110. I understand it about money and such, but i believe more people would upgrade to
pro easier if the price was adjusted like that instead of it current strategic plan of a full price of Pro just to gain some basic features like Domain ability.
Whats your thoughts?

Hi，
For windows 8.1 as an example, you need $99.99 to add the Windows 8.1 pro pack and get the
Windows Media Center and the power of Windows 8.1 Pro.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-Pack/productID.288392300
As I know, Windows 8 pro has added some important features such as Hyper-V, GP, VHD, bitlocker, domain..etc which are essential for business management\small organization.
You can find the comparison list in the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/windows-8-1/compare/default.aspx
We don't have the "power" to change the price :) so I just want to share the links above with you and hope you can understand the value of Windows 8/8.1 pro.

Problems since update from Windows 8 to 8.1

So the other day the Windows 8.0 side of my 27-inch, Late 2013 iMac with Fusion drive forced me up update to Windows 8.1 - it just started doing it automatically when I was on my lunchbreak. It seemed to update fine, and everything seemed to work once it booted up in 8.1. I noticed that the sound was no longer working on the Windows 8.1 side - it would only make the startup sound after a restart/turning on, and there was a red light coming out of the audio jack. Sound worked fine on the Mac side still. So, I updated the drivers here (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640) based on my computer model. During the instal of the drivers, it said "Need to repair drivers", and then went on to install without any problems that I could see.
This has now fixed the Sound driver issue, but now my keyboard is stuck in French mode (I think?) where when I type the "/?" character, it types "é" or "É". I cannot seem to fix this by going into Languages in Control Panel, or by re-installing the drivers.
What can I do? Are there any more details I can give to help someone problem solve this with me?

Hi,
For the issue, let us try rebuilding performance counters to check the result.
Press Win+x, and click Command Prompt(admin)
Type "CD c:\windows\system32",and Enter.
Type "LODCTR /R", and Enter.
Note: This let you rebuild the perf registry strings and info from scratch based on the current registry settings and backup INI files.
Keep post.

Install optional driver updates from Windows Update for IdeaPad Yoga 13?

Windows Update on IdeaPad Yoga 13 - Windows 8.1 (64-bit) suggests two optional updates:
Conexant - Audio Device - Conexant SmartAudio HD
10.01.2014
Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 software update released in May, 2014
04.06.2014
Should I install those updates or should I keep the original drivers?
The original drivers from Lenovo "Drivers and software" section (http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590) seem to be older/outdated:
Conexant Audio Driver for 64-bit Windows
8.65.3.53 10/22/2013
Integrated Graphics Driver for 64-bit Windows
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
9.17.10.2843 10/23/2012
Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
10.18.10.3282 10/22/2013

Windows Update has now another update for "Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1" and still no updates on the Lenovo site.
So I tried the the drivers from Windows Update and it seems that every thing is still working fine.
