Duncan,
I can't be positive since I'm not running Win8.1, but I think that
Tim is talking about the SYSTEM that I referenced last week (5/10/14) .....
"If Windows 8 / 8.1 / 8.1-Update 1 is similar to Win 7, then go to
the Control Panel and select SYSTEM and it should show what version
you are running."
Regards,
Mike

Hey Tim,
Please explain, "....If it does not say Windows 8.1 in System ..."
What 'System' are your talking about? I am sharing exactly what I read off my
screen. Just a bit confused atm.
Thanks,
Duncan

Hello everyone,
If it does not say Windows 8.1 in System you do not have Windows 8.1
installed. To install Windows 8.1 you will need to go to the "Store" to
download and install it. I am not sure if it is still free or not.

Where I find I have the pro version is control panel | system. To see
if you have the update to 8.1 you have to look for search icon.
Kind of explains why they had to lose Sinofsky.

Vincent,
Thanks for the link. I tried it. What I get is that my new PC is
running Window 8.1.
The new PC is not running Windows 8.1 PRO. Shame On NewEgg!
I will purchase another Win8.1 PRO SW set (blue box livery).
Or search for a "PRO" upgrade solution.
At least now I know.
BtW, I completed 2 cycles of Winupdates. The first was 793.7MB. The 2d
was 890.5MB.
Makes one wonder just how dorked up the base code was!
Thanks,
Duncan

When Windows 8.1 pro boots up, does it display/acknowledge any
Service
Pack(s)??
I'm several days from initial power-on ATM.
Thanks,
