Thank you Mike, that is exactly what the problem is. I didn't know this would happen. When I did and wanted to buy the upgrade, I was in Mexico and I didn't know if the price was in dollars or pesos. When I went back to the States, instead of getting the upgrade for $39, the price was almost...

I have 8 Preview and would like to download 8.1 Preview. However my pc shuts down after an hour because of 8 Preview. If I can't download the ISO files, (I usually get to 65% before pc shuts down) How can I get 8.1? Can I get 8 Pro or can I download 7 to replace 8?

I have 8 preview and would like to download 8.1 preview. I can't. I try to download the ISO files but 8 shuts down my pc after an hour. If I can't download 8.1, can I download 7 and replace 8?

Thanks for your input. I have no problem buying the update. my problem is that I am in Mexico and when I go to m-soft, it is in Spanish and will not switch to English. also when I try to buy it for 39.99 everything is good until checkout when the price goes to 536.00 it is frustrating.

[I am trying to upgrade to Win 8 Pro. I had the Evaluation Copy and it expired. When I try to upgrade, the price goes from $39.99 to $536. OK I don't mind the $40, but why is the price jumping to $536? I tried several time with the same result. What can I do?SIZE=3][/SIZE]

thanks for the replies. I guess I should have read the fine print. I wrongly assumed that having the trial, it would continue. guess I will just update. thanks all

I downloaded Windows Release Preview Evaluation Copy. Build 8400. Now I am getting messages that says my version has expired and to download the newest version. The newest version requires a payment. This seems like a bait and switch. Windows says I can't uninstall Windows 8 and go back to...

I do open the picture library and when I click on a picture, it goes to the app and everything is not useable. if I uninstall the photo app can I still use the picture library like in Windows 7? Thanks

Thank you. I will try everything that you suggested.

Thanks for your reply. I will try that. It is still not as easy as before. Maybe when I figure it out it will be what I want. Thank you

With W7 when I wanted to look at pictures I could just click on an album, enlarge it and look at each picture. Now when I click on a picture, the Picture App comes on and maybe one picture will show, I can't look at any other picture or enlarge one. I can't do anything. It is also hard to return...

I recently downloaded Win8 from Windows site. Now I get a screen saying I must activate the account. I had factory installed Win7 before. How do I get a Product Key to activate my new Win8. The site says I can buy a new one. Why didn't they provide one when they allowed me to download Win8. How...
