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!
