I have a MSDN Subscription and downloaded Windows 8.1 RTM today.
It fails to install.
After mounting the ISO and installing (with a Windows 8.1 Pro product code), selecting "Keep my apps and settings", it copies all installation files, restarts and then bluescreens at around 50%, then rolls back to the previous version.
System has 64 GB Memory, Supermicro, Xeon E5-1650, Intel SSD, runs Hyper-V, Windows 8 Pro.
What may be causing this and how do I fix it?
Best Answer
Disable Windows Firewall and then try to install Windows 8.1. Details are here: Windows Firewall from start to finish.
OR
Boot the computer in Clean Boot and try to install Windows 8.1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
