Here's an idea, make a dummy fake account for times like this ?

 

I'm downloading the 64bit version right now.

Question: Has anybody upgraded an Win2Go USB 3.0 HDD with Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise yet?

I've an virgin Win2Go Acer 500GB USB 3.0 HDD as spare in the draw and would like to upgrade that one for testing purpose.

Thanks for any info.

OK, as it seems to be that nobody knows any answer, I/d started to create a new Master HDD with Windows .1 Enterprise Preview and after that is done I'll try to upgrade, if not possible to install a new W2G with 8.1 Enterprise.

Thanks for reply.

To late already and it wasn't working, had checked that already. That error Message was from exactly that stage!

 

Had created an new Master HDD with Windows 8.1 Enterprise Preview, no apps installed yet, just done the Updates. Those Updates were 10 files with an size of 107MB completely.

After that I created a new Windows 8.1 Enterprise Preview W2Go drfive and also done just the Updates, which on installing now. This time that's 20 Files with an size of 474MB in total.

The same USB Stick used for both installation, difference only, I started the Windows to Go from Control Panel of the normal Windows 8.1 Enterprise Preview. Why that huge difference in Updates?

 

i have a problem with 8.1 preview : when i try to move files from a folder to another windows explorer freeze and i can`t transfer files .So i select some files from a folder than drag and drop to another folder but then win explorer freeze .Is not a problem of permission couse i allow everything for my account in security .I never had this problem with 7 or 8 .Any help ?

 

Does it matter? Windows 8.1 has brand new magic that will finally stop WinSxS to grow several GB overtime because of updates.

Windows applies "dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup" automaticly once a month or so.

To save some more space you can do "dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase", but this will make it impossible to uninstall any Updates you installed before, as it will merge the updates with the System.
Also there is finally a command to see how big the component store is, "dism /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore"

These features should have been part of Windows since Vista Only thanks to mobile and space restrictions Windows is currently facing did they add these.

 

What does it say in event viewer --> applications

 

faulting application path C:\Windows\syswow64\MsiExec.exe -i think is this

 

It may be in the process of installing and can't be completed without restart .. So restart and report back but start a new thread

 

That's pretty sweet for those SSD folks that only have like 128gb or somethin to work with..
Those damn Windows 8 hotfixes are friggin HUGE.
