macoman Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Bought a serial code for Windows 8.1 pro for $40 bucks and upgrade my HP 7 stream from Windows 8.1 bing to Pro. However I don't see anything different besides to have couple of applications that I will never use available. I don't even see the famous Update 1 or 2 for 8.1. it is me or the 7 inch tablets are configured not to receive specific updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see the famous Update 1 or 2 for 8.1. it is me or the 7 inch tablets are configured not to receive specific updates? HP Stream 7 is a kinda new device, aren't these updates already installed? Features to check if update 1 is installed: http://www.askvg.com/review-whats-new-in-windows-8-1-update/ Features to check if update 2 is installed: http://www.askvg.com/windows-8-1-august-update-aka-update-2-now-available-for-download/ Also both articles have links for manual updating. Some parts of these updates are 64bit only fixes so will not be updated on the Stream 7. Also where did you get that 40 bucks deal? Everywhere I look I have to pay 100 usd... I have a windows 8.1 upgrade key which I currently use on my desktop to update from 7, could I also use it on my tablet even when it's actually meant for 1 device and for upgrading from windows 7 ?

Thanks for the info... I bought the serial code in bonanza.com... don't know if its legal or not but the site looks legitimate to me. The serial code is only good for one device.
