I am neither as well, and I have yet to have any issues (other than a common windows 8 issue).

There is already an option to manually update. The link to the preview is: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/preview-iso

If you choose to update now, you'll have to do a clean install to go from the Evaluation Copy to the standard edition, unfortunately. 8.1 does have some nice features to it.

Nothing in the event viewer, unfortunately. 0 files have been indexed.

Saltgrass, your post has given me an idea. It was checked already, but I am going to uncheck, reboot, and recheck to see if that helps fix the issue. I have tried to rebuild the index already, that's how I discovered it wasn't working. Could this have something to do with it being 8.1...

It really depends on the type of network you have. You can share the internet connection via a router, and share the printer out via one machine whilst mapping the other computers to the shared printer.

I tried using the same key for WMC 8.1 as I did for 8, but it told me that my edition of Windows was not compatible with the software, A clean install of 8, followed by adding WMC, then an in-place upgrade to 8.1 fixed my problems.

I have done this before in a dual-boot scenario. I lost the ability to boot into Windows 7, but I regained it after I manually added it to the boot path using msconfig, double checking all boot paths before rebooting

While trying to add folders to the Search Index, I was informed the Windows Search process was not started. When I go to the Services Console and attempt to manually start, I am given the error: "Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot...

Back story: I am part of a large organization that has a large amount of computers on our domain controller. I have Administrative rights to the computers only, and network access rights on our network. I keep a number of computers up to date, including various 3rd-party programs (i.e. java...

I myself didn't create the image used. As far as I can tell, it was created using Microsoft's deployment tools. A workaround for this issue was deploying a standard Windows 7 image, and booting a VHD sent over the network and attached to the new computers.

As far as I can tell, you might be out of luck. Windows may use the fastest connection and ignore the slower one

This looks like it will be an immense help. I've used Serva to do automated Windows 7 install before, but that only works with a traditional operating system, not this modified ISO
