Windows 8.1 public preview version soon announced, and when all Windows 8 users can download the upgrade to Windows 8.1 updates through the Windows Store. However, for users who are not using Windows 8, if you want to experience Windows 8.1, do you want to install Windows 8 and then update to Windows 8.1?

Fortunately, Windows 8 is not required. According to the leaked Windows 8.1 preview Q&A, in addition to the upgrade through the app store, Microsoft will also provide the ISO 8.1 public preview version of ISO separately after the 26th. Mirror.


Users can install Windows 8.1 in two ways: store or ISO

This Q&A mentions ISO images mainly for those who wish to keep Win8 at the same time (or Earlier systems) and Windows 8.1 preview users are ready. However, there seems to be an additional limitation here: your computer must have been set to dual system boot before downloading the ISO, otherwise the Windows 8.1 preview image will not be installed on another partition.

Another point mentioned in Q&A is that users who are using Windows 8 Pro Media Center Edition have found that the Media Center component has been removed by upgrading from the ISO image and need to reinstall the Media Center component.
