What is this N you mentioned? – uSeRnAmEhAhAhAhAhA – 2014-02-04T17:54:08.647

You should be able to install it by finding it on the Windows Store. You must have all released updates for the update to appear. Otherwise using a generic Windows 8.1 N license and a Windows 8.1 installation media disk and then changing the license back to your current Windows 8.0 license should also work. – Ramhound – 2014-02-04T18:35:48.633

I guess it's the same as in the other editions...

Install all Windows updates through "Control Panel -> Windows Update".
Start the Windows Store, there should be a tile to click on which starts the download.
Followe the instructions of the installer.

Head to Microsoft's 8.1 N page here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/n-editions

Click "Download the Upgrade" related to the edition of 8 N you currently have (actually probably doesn't matter which link you use) to download the Windows Upgrade Assistant.

Upgrade Assistant is a free download that scans your PC, desktop apps, and connected devices to see if they'll work with a later version of Windows, and then provides a free compatibility report. Depending on the version of Windows you're running, you can also use Upgrade Assistant to buy, download, and install Windows online.
