How long do you let it run?
The old timer:
Even thought I had some improvement by running the all in 1 & had the program do many updates it had previously downloaded & had reversed before. It still didn't change to 8.1.
From what I read almost everyone hates Windows 8 & 8.1 so maybe I'm better off without it. Microsoft goes from one horror to another. I see that Microsoft has already withdrawn from sale almost all versions of 7 & 8 & intends to jump to version 10.
I bought Windows 95 when it first came out but as everyone knows if didn't do what it claimed. The you bought & paid for Windows 98, with exactly the same results. I have also been through the same thing other version like XP ,7 & some other versions.
If anyone intends to use Windows 10, Microsoft should be paying you for all of the wasted time & money it cost. Instead of purchasing it we should be suing them for false advertising.
These big software have bugs in them & continue to do so. Another example is iTunes which for years has had a duplicate track finder that is wrong. You can have the same song title by the same artist on different albums, with different arrangements & could have been recorded 30 years apart ,where the length of the one version can to double that of the other one yet they call them duplicates.

Windows 10 is due out next fall, so i will still be a while.
With the problem you are having, there is a faster way to go about it. You need to get a hold of the Windows 8.1 install disk, which there is a way to download the ISO for it, then just do a repair install following this guide

That will not only repair the system and keep your programs but it will also get you up to 8.1 :wink:
Here is one way to get the ISO and make a cd with it
