Hey HiVizMan, I only purchased Windows 8 Pro and updated for free. I usually do the UEFI install. Is there anyway if I do a rebuild that I can install Windows 8.1 straight up? I tried the shortcut here. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only but it does not seem to work.

The only other way is to install Win 8 and update to 8.1 from the MS Store.
I appreciate all the input, does the final 8.1 Pro install change the key in the BIOS so subsequent installs do not need to have the key entered?
