News/Discussions: Windows 8.1 RTM Build 6.3.9600.16384

Mount the ISO and open admin CMD...

Code:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:X:\sources\sxs

where X is the letter of the drive.

Enabled it offline in mounted WIM with no problems.

 

Not shure here...used it as base to upgrade to WMC with my free key successfully .

 

So it was my fault. Win 8 x64, I was able to use a 4GB USB drive. Win 8.1 x64 4GB is too small. Thanks James.

 

It does work. this is the command

Elevated Command prompt. Change source:X change the X to the drive where you have the ISO mounted or your install media drive letter.

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

I used a 4GB drive for 8.1 Pro, I think... *looks at USB drive sticking out of the PC* Yes, I put the ISO's contents on a 4GB drive and installed it without any problem!

So no one else is having the issue that he can't upgrade and keep all personal files, apps, etc. ?

 

his windows is x64 version.
maybe yours is x86?

 

x64 is bigger yup, that might be it.

 

It did not work win+d or rebooting. It could be caused because I turned off secure boot a while ago and was to lazy to turn it back on, so maybe since the "secure boot is not configured correctly" watermark is there it shows the windows 8.1 9600 mark as well. I will try to turn on secure boot and see.

EDIT: Turning on secure boot got rid of all watermark.

BUT now I got a new bug. I feel its because I did not wipe computer before updating from win 8.1 preview to 9471 to 9477 to RTM 9600. The bug is every time I reboot my computer, the start screen goes to a black solid background. I always have to change it back to what I normally have.

 

I'm pretty sure I downloaded and installed x64, I'l check it again, but I'l be really surprised if I installed x86 by accident

 

lol I've done that several times

 

Thanks for the visuals guides EFE11. I am too lazy to do that!!!

I guess my 4GB drive sux I can fit 8.1 x86 & 8.1 enterprise x64 on it though. Didn't like the 8.1 x64. Finally got it activate too via the phone process!!

 

Maybe 4GBs is not the same for USB drives. I have 10MBs left on my x64 Win 8.1 4GB USB drive. (didn't even realize till just now.)

 

Question: Just like with the preview, I cannot connect to a Microsoft account with the RTM and all Apps incl. Store are shown as offline. Is it like this for everyone, cause I read that it should be possible to connect your Microsoft account!?

 

I signed in with my outlook account, then activated with my Win 8 retail key. The store and all Apps work perfectly here.
