Anthony,
Yes, I've been there and used it twice. 1.5GB in 2 downlods, and, I'm
still at Win8.1. OK, fine to start.
But, I wish to own/use Win8.1 PRO. I'll do some more googling.
Thanks,
Duncan

Somewhere buried down in the innards of win 8.1 is a place where you can
upgrade your copy of windows. If you click that link, a process starts. I
believe it is then when you can enter our key and unlock the additional
features. I don't remember where that option is but I have run across it
several times before and wondered if it was worth the effort and cost. Not
much help other than to say I don't believe you really need a reformat and
reinstall....

Tim,
OK, but I'll wait for other impressions. Ultimately, I figure I can just format
the
SSD and start from scratch. No real data to worry about atm!

Hello Duncan,
I think you can change the product key and it should work. Not sure though.

Tim,
Thank you for the share! Yes, I have seen this view. OK. Now, I get my
confusion. I have loaded/activated plain old Win8.1-64bit.
The large blue font in the upper-right must refer to the 'Windows 8'
series (Win8.0-Win 8.9). At least that is how I read this.
Two days ago the postman delivered my replacement OS box.
It is labeled Windows 8.1 PRO (full version).
So, now the question is: Can I use the 64-bit DVD to 'upgrade' to
Win8.1 PRO, or, should I just hope that the DVD asks to format the SSD
(C:\) and just start over again fresh. I will only loose my FF browser
and my Eset AV install (fully backed up to NAS!
Thanks again,
Duncan

Tim,
I get a 404 error from your link. Hmmm.
