    Some time ago I buyed a Windows 8 Pro, Upgrade Edition, VUP x64 & x86, for about 60 euro. Now on my 2-nd home lan pc made a clean install of the Windows 8.1 PRO (RTM edition from here) with the boot disk, a Intel SSD 520 sata3, MBR and ntfs formatted, using the generic install key PRO.

    After installation activated the Windows 8.1 PRO on-line using the upgrade key of the Win 8 PRO VUP, without phone activation and so on.

    Great Windows8.1!

    Right-click on desktop -> Personalization -> Color (at the bottom of the window) -> Click on any color apart from what is selected.

    Have fun. :D

    It seems he will download 8.1 core/pro with GA update directly from MSDN in the future, like Enterprise and VL, but I don´t think so that it will happen. I will wait for one month before starting to mount my updated AIO...

    I feel i should know this, but can't seem to find a way. With DISM, is there a way to differentiate a VL SKU from a Retail SKU? I don't notice any flags and don't know a way to see the integrated key. I realize when i install the key will determine the licensing, but when i'm renaming the description with DISM making my AIOs i would like to make a variable to add "VL" to volume editions.
