    I have W8 Enterprise Eval on a tablet. Installing W8 requires installing all the drivers and from what I've read, it is not always successful. As such, can I use UpDown8 to change the W8EE to something else and then use a good W8 key to upgrade to 8.1 AND keep all the drivers?

    I'm not sure how clear the instructions here are and I'm getting no use out of it right now so I will detail my steps and someone let me know what I'm doing wrong.

    1. Run UpDown
    2.Select Windows 8 Enterprise
    3.Message appears "Insert Installation Media and run Sources/setup.exe"
    4.Click ok
    5.Insert Installation USB
    6.Run souces/setup.exe
    7.Click "No Thanks" to updates, click Upgrade option
    8. "Windows 8 Enterprise Eval cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprise Eval"


    I just want to know what I'm doing wrong because I'm sure that I'm using the program incorrectly.
