    If you have a MTK activated version of Windows 8, how do you upgrade to windows 8.1? I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find anything about it. I read all the facts on the first page also.

    By the way thank you for this great thread.

    You need to upgrade through the 8.1 ISO Setup. KMS-activated Windows 8 does not get any 8.x upgrade from store.

    So just run the ISO and it will automatically ask if I want to upgrade instead of install a fresh system correct? then i uninstall the old MTK and reinstall it?

    Yep. But you have to use the latest MTK.

    Forget about that. I've been able to download OEM DVD for vista and 7, that worked with pretty much any Legit Key that I used on them, is there such thing for windows 8? thanks

    If you mean OEM Win8, forget it. Win 8.x can only be activated with MAK, KMS or retail. This is also the reason Daz's loader does not work on Win8 (at least for now).

    Please help me out with a direct download link for -
    Windows 8.1 Pro 32bit (English)

    I am currently using Windows 7 ultimate and I have read that the only OS to update and keep settings etc, is thru the 8.1 pro version. Please correct me if I am wrong. I don't know very much about windows 8. thanks
