Unable to upgrade to 8.1 of Windows 8 Windows

I bought a notebook, a day ago with the installation of Windows 8. I was assured that I could easily upgrade to windows 8.1 easily which is currently not the case.

After problems, I got a message that my PC is running a version under enterprise license or volume of Windows 8, which cannot be updated by using the Windows store.

Any solution to this?

First I would it again where I got and let them take over. they should not have sold you one with Windows Enterprise. Then I'll go elsewhere to buy my laptop with every time you start Windows 8.0/8.1 or Pro.

  • XPS 13 (9343) - unable to upgrade to Windows 10 - error 0xC1900101 0 x 30018

    I have a brand new 13 XPS, 9343 model with i7 processor and 512 GB SSD. I'm still within the period of 14 days, and I'm now seriously returning. I've never known such a load of nonsense trying to install any other piece of software.

    So far, and after many attempts, I was completely unable to upgrade to Windows 10. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates available for 8.1 (there were 79 of them), and immediately after that I started the saga to install Win10. Nothing else has been done to the laptop - no questionable software or USB devices (except the USB boot if necessary). It is in a State of cleanliness.

    -After the download via Windows Update, the installation procedure is INCREDIBLY slow (for example, it takes 36 HOURS to reach 42% completion - and at this point, it hits the error message). What the heck can he do?

    -J' also tried to create a bootable USB drive via the media creation tool. If I boot from the USB key and perform a "clean" installation, it works perfectly: it takes about 8 minutes total (which highlights how ridiculous the 36 hours). However, because it is a clean installation and not an 'upgrade', I find myself with a non-activated version of Windows 10 and I am asked to pay £99.99, I don't intend to do. I paid for the laptop on the understanding, he would get a FREE upgrade to Win10!

    -J' also tried using the USB key (but not the start of it) to perform the upgrade in place - this strikes the same mistake as Windows Update (and taking so long)

    -J' tried to uninstall all antivirus software, and disable all wireless/bluetooth devices before performing the upgrade - nothing of this aid. Because need me 36 HOURS per attempt, it is really not acceptable to try disabling things randomly in the vain hope that it might work correctly.

    When trying to upgrade (i.e. not), I hit an error message "Windows Setup cannot set up Windows on your hardware" or similar. During the recovery after the failure, tool configuration gives the 0xC1900101 error code 0 x 30018 and says it failed in operation 'FIRST_BOOT', the phase SYSPREP. Just make this error message cost me 36 hours of waiting (welcome to the future!), then it would be really helpful if someone could give me a definitive answer on what makes...

    Help, please! Auuughhh

    Hello world

  • EliteBook 8560p: unable to turn on Mobile Broadband - 10 Windows

    Hello

    So I made the big jump yesterday of 8.1 Windows of Windows 10. Do this jump however gave me a headached major when it comes to using my built-in mobile broadband.  Properly installed device drivers however I am unable to turn on the device to Windows 10.  I had a similar problem on the Windows 8.1 but I then installed HP Connection Manager, and then I could turn on and off the unit.

    With HP Connection Manager not supported on Windows 10, is there another way I can get get this device to turn on so that I can use.

    I solved my problem.

    Before moving to Windows 10 I had installed HP Connection Manager on Windows 8.1.  During the upgrade, I thought that HP Connection Manager has been removed from the machine, as it is incompatible and not appearing is not in programs and features. The attempt to run the HPCM.msi file I had the option to modify, repair, or uninstall if I choose one of these options, I get a message indicating that the application was blocked.  It then struck me that HPCM was still installed and it had locked my device to the OFF state.

    I downloaded Revo uninstall the application and was able to successfully remove HPCM. Once removed, I could use my device natively through Windows 10.

    I hope this post helps the other.

  • How can I upgrade to 10 64-bit Windows?

    Hello

    I have a Travelmate B115-M and I upgraded from Windows Pro 8.1 to Windows 10. The problem is that it automatically upgraded to 10 32-bit Windows. The drivers from the Acer website are all 64 bits. I tried 2 times, the second time, do a clean install, but now I can't go back to 8.1 for Windows because it doesn't show the option anymore.

    So, how can I upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit on Windows 64-bit?

    Thanks in advance,

    John Lewis

    Well, finally I've upgraded to 64-bit Windows 10. The solution was to go to the Windows website and choose the option to install on another PC, downloaded the file on a USB key and do a clean install.

    Thank you.

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.
