My laptop is Dell inspiron R15. It comes with Windows 8 64bit, Chinese Home Edition. I later upgraded to Windows 8 64bit, English Pro. Edition. Then I installed Linux and setup dual-bool. Now, I can see the Windows 8.1 update in the Windows Store. I have 8GB memory installed, and about 90GB free disks pace. My nVidia driver is up to date.
Here is my update log. Some people say the failure is caused by conflicts, and the log can tell you. But I could not find anything useful to help me locate the conflicts, if any.
Couldn't update to Windows 8.1
Sorry, we couldn't complete the update to Windows 8.1. We've restored your previous version of Windows to this PC.

Have you installed all available updates and what method are you using to install the update? I would also remove any USB devices not required to use your system. This will remove the possibility its an

driver problem. – Ramhound – 2013-10-19T06:18:13.300I always install the Windows from the Windows Update center...is there any other choice? And sure I have ran update several times to make sure I have installed all updates available. – David S. – 2013-10-19T06:20:21.517
Windows 8.1 isn't installed through
Windows Update

, the second is through the use of an.iso

@magicandre1981 I read that one already and it seems most replies are concerned about the encryption which has nothing to do in my case. Also, I added some info. to my case. I hope this can change your opinion about my case. Thanks. – David S. – 2013-10-19T13:07:41.080
