During my experiments I found this useful topic about how to skip an apparent mandatory account registration in Windows 8.1 setup :

I have not gotten it to install. I wanted to see it to see if is any better then 8. Using my mom and dad's laptop. It came with 8 on it but 8.1 will not install. get error 0xc1900101-0x20017. Not sure what that error is. Would have put it on my desktop but it is way to old and would barely run it plus it is still 32bit. got the desktop few months after Vista cam out. Any ideas on how to get the update would be good and will others too with the same problem. The laptop is a HP Pavilion g6. If you need any other info that might help I can get that too. Thanks.

An user solved uninstalling steelseries engine software, according to this thread:

Another user in another community stated that a similar issue was solved updating his network drivers Qualcomm Atheros.

Another one uninstalling Avast antivirus.

So I think it's a driver / software issue.

You can check this, following one or all these steps:

1) Uninstall your AV & all security software first.
2) Please run Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant.
3) Please verify if among your optional Windows updates or among your optional HP updates is available a new driver / software update
(Optional) Submit your suspicious driver / software in Windows Compatibility Center.
