Sounds like a driver conflict<\/p>\n<p>Some Windows 8 users are reporting trouble updating to Windows 8.1, and Patrick Marshall suspects Microsoft\u2019s own driver programs are the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Q: We have two computers, each with Windows 8. I installed 8.1 on one with no problem, although it took a surprisingly long time. The second, however, failed during the first of several restarts required to complete the installation.<\/p>\n<p>A helpful Microsoft tech worked with my computer remotely for about two hours until the installation seemed to be progressing successfully. However, it failed again before completion and reverted to the original Windows 8.<\/p>\n<p>Another Microsoft rep told me that others are having the same issue and to try again \u201cin the future,\u201d when they have fixed the problem. I\u2019ve got better things to do.
