after 40mins....so I don't know whats up really

[keysteele]

When I updated from the last leak that I had installed, I didn't lose anything at all the only way I knew that 8.1 RTM was installed was by the watermark. Is that suppose to happen?

[Tews]

When you change your installation key to your retail key, the watermark is removed.

Did you try to copy the source files to your HDD and run the command with those source files?

[HawkMan]

has anyone actually done a proper "upgrade" without loosing files.

on 8.1 pro

i never had the choice, 

 

 

You can't with the current ISO's

 

the ISO only allows install. if you add the ei.cfg that allows ugprades to the install. it will fail because it uses your existing windows key to verify the install. and as we all know, you need the leaked keys to install, so it will stop with an error that your key is invalid.

 

since I pretty much just reinstalled windows due to HDD changes, I'm waiting for a proper upgradeable install, as there's absolutely no reason for me to reinstall from scratch. and no I buy into the whole "you should always to a clean install" BS. never had an issue with it, not on an NT based windows OS anyway. 

 

Actually you could probably do an upgrade if you used the cmd command to change your windows key to the leaked one, then ran the upgrade, then changed your key again.

Thats not an upgrade ... thats just keeping your metro apps, not your installed programs ... those have to be re-installed again  

[xendrome]

As I stated before, worked fine for me also.on 3 separate systems

So you're calling me a liar? Oomgz Office 2013, imgburn, chrome magically installed on its own i guess...  Clearly you havent even installed 8.1 from the sounds of it. 

[Jeston Veteran]

Yep, upgrading from 8.0 works just fine. That is, unless you installed Media Center, then it's a PITA...

You have US english windows ? could be an issue with anyone installing english windows outside of the US will automatically be given UK english version by the automatic installer.

Still didn't fix the black window border/titlebar text problem.

The original Windows 8 editions were:

• Windows 8
• Windows 8 Pro
• Windows 8 Enterprise

Which version of 8.1 did they manage to leak? "Pro" doesn't appear to have leaked, at least with "Pro" in the name.

I installed the media center package and used that key and I still have a watermark

[keysteele]

Did you try to copy the source files to your HDD and run the command with those source files?

no I didn't, let me try that see what happens. I'm getting to the point where I just want to wipe this bitch clean, start fresh.

 

Do you mean the source file or the sxs files?

[x-scratch]

only problem i have is it keeps saying this "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this folder" or move & delete

 

never had this on any other os

Windows 8 (Core) and Windows 8 Pro are both available in the same leaked ISO. All three editions leaked.

If it fails there is an alternative solution in there via gpedit

I am afraid there are some things that Microsoft will never fix such as the one you mention,

or having forgotten icons deep inside the OS from previous versions of Windows,

or replacing the system icons that now is a mix of Vista & 7 icons,

or  improving the font smoothing,

or  removing the hideous explorer borders

or add basic functionality to core metro apps

or...

I use a reg hack to make the border width smaller:

Thx Neobond.I was aware of the hack.In fact i am using it.

 

I was reffering more to a completely borderless look of the explorer like Office 2013 has.

Any one using 8.1 having issues with dual monitors? It only seems to see one of mine, I haven't imaged the drive yet so can't go back to Windows 8 to test, I am thinking it may be the 326 beta drivers I am using, though it was best to use them as they were for the 8.1 preview, is it safe to use the WHQL drivers?

thats my issue then

lol

thanks

RTM iso files were just leaked a while ago.

 

So what is the difference between RTM and these versions right here? Why should it be worth installing this version over RTM? Pls answer someone..

There is no difference? The leaked .iso files are the RTM version.
