Hi Folks, long time no post.
I'll keep it short.
My Sony Vaio E series from around 3 years ago came with Windows 8.0 and free updated to 8.1 no problems.
Just had to do a reformat as it was just freezing at the desktop when loading up for god knows what reason but anyways, I'm trying to now do the free upgrade to 8.1 again via the store and via microsofts website download section and it aint playing nice.
Almost immediatley it says it cannot complete, with no error code or anything.
I've spent the last hour trying various solutuons from other threads here including the "net stop wuauserv and net stop bits" method and it still doesn't wanna work.
Now most of these solutions are from a few years back as the cool kids are now on windows 10, but I'd be happy being back on 8.1 and wondering if any newer solutions are out there that I may have missed.
Any and all help appreciated. I will be back on around 8pm gmt to check replies,
Regards.
