Original OS Win 8, updated to 8.1. Will the Win 8.1 Pro Pack install correctly on my PC?

That all depends on the specific PC and actual configurations. But my guess is that it will. It would be unusual for a PC already running Win8, for the pro pack not to work.

Yes, it did work for me. However, after entering the code, it "seemed" like it wasn't working until I rebooted, during which the upgrade occurred.

NOPE. Took many tries but later did install. It was a waste of $100.00 because it doesn't do anything. Might be OK for someone who really...really... wants Media Player. There are many FREE media players on the Internet. I like VLC. It results in a better picture and better sound. Save your money and go FREE with VLC.

It installed fine. 8.1 introduced new bugs and I had to get 8.1 Pro Pack to fix. I wish I had never bought 8.0 or 8.1.

The one I ordered came with 8.1. It included a copy of MS Office. The windows8.1 Pro version does not include the office software

win 8 not pro and does upgrade to 8.1 free. You have to do updates to win 8 before it can do the upgrade to 8.1

I had no problems installing the update to 8.1. Make sure you perform all the windows updates. Once you are up to date, go to the Windows App store and the Windows 8.1 update should be there ready for download and install.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works great. Windows found the drivers and installed them without the need for intervention.

Can verify that it works on Windows 8.1 Pro. So it should work on 8.1, as the specs state no additional drivers are needed.

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and just installed it. Works great and easy to install.

Yes, it was quite easy. Just use the search function and look for Windows Update. Find the 8.1 update, check it, and click install. Windows will restart several times during the process so do this at a time when you don't need to use your computer for at least 1/2 hour. (If you have Windows set to automatically install updates it will just happen when Windows does a check). The only issue I found was with the Asus docking station I have. I had to download a new driver to get it to work correctly.

No it does not fare well with Win 8.1 Pro, it keeps requiring me to go online as it requests me for internet connection. Unlike the previous version (2012 running in compatibility mode); I cannot play this offline and worse I get lots of loop backs.

Yes, not a problem at all. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Never had a problem. Best investment on my gaming PC I've ever made.

Not sure whether it was a PRO version or not, but definitely windows 8, NOT 8.1!

I found out that I have Windows 7 and it work for me. So it should work for Windows 8.1

Mine came with Win 7 professional installed and with four Win 8 disks included in the package. Win 8.1 will be fine for you, but I'm not sure about the Win 7 license that comes preinstalled.

Hi. Yes I think so because I have office 2003 pro working on my win8.1. Hope this helps?

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

No you have to put on the windows 8 home version before you put on windows 8 pro

I just got a new laptop with windows 8.1 and it works fine thus far. It should work okay.
