George P Global Moderator Posted June 29, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2013 I installed a firmware update on my Samsung Ativ Smart PC 500T. After that I tried to update to 8.1 through the store but it spat out a error and asked me to try again. Anyone get this working on the same Atom powered hardware or are we still waiting for intel to update something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayscale Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 You should try the ISO. It offers only 2 options, keep files only and keep nothing. I did use the ISO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjessy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 My problem is probably different. I don't know if anyone has encountered the same problem. I installed the update downloaded from Microsoft but afret the reboot nothing happes. The store doesn't pop up and doen't ask me to download anything from the store My OS is en-US in everything no other languages installed I don't know why, can someone find a solution?

andyjessy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Also trying to run the WSReset.exe the store seems to open to clear the cache but then nothing it crashes or close and nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link6155 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 For what it's worth, make sure you do not have a 3rd party theme patcher on your system such as UXStyle or UXPatch. These will prevent windows 8.1 from installing correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted June 30, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm still waiting for intel atom driver updates on my ativ smart pc. The update fails with some error and says I need to install updates but no updates are out yet. At this right I might just wait till RTM to update since I have 8.1 running on vbox on my desktop. It would be nice to use it with touch on my tablet though but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ON Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Quick update on this - I visited 'http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/preview-download' on my RT and executed the downloaded file. Let it update and reboot - voila! Prompted for 8.1 update, proceeded to download and took about 40 minutes to update and reboot. Booted no problems and everything working well. Winodws 8.1 RT UK.
