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
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.
Just noticed... it's funny that none of the well-known Windows tech bloggers mentioned that the RTM bits leaked so far, it's only the real enthusiast sites. Seems they only report in Microsoft's favor, it almost feels like if they were pretending it's not happening, or they just think it's not worth reporting because everyone knew it was going to happen.
I'm confused, how do I upgrade to 8.1 RTM from existing Win 8 x64 installation? With previous Windows I installed service packs from exe files but I've yet to find one for 8.1 I don't want to reinstall OS and programs.
Remember on any drive you have overhead with the file system, part is just lost and part is used to create the file system. You also have some space used to make it boot able. Normally those files are hidden.
Removable disk is actually a removable drive, it's a 4GB USB thumb drive. I really need to find some time to sort through my files, I'm pretty sure I can free 100+Gb if I really had to I guess it has something to do with the actual available space on your USB stick, a 4GB drive can never hold 4GB. As you can see it's a tight fit, if my drive had 20MB less *actual* storage space it wouldn't have fit, JamesG269's drive has only 10 megs left. I guess that explains why some of us can fit it on a '4 gig' drive and others can't.
