How do I upgrade to RT 8.1 if I had preview?

My last guess before I recommend a refresh.... is your Preview showing that it is activated?

The only thing that ended up working for me was the manual way you indicated in another thread:

"Try here: Copy to browser....

ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade"

I'd be concerned if I was MS and others have this same issue. It shouldn't be this clumsy. I called the Surface support number and after 2 hours on the phone they couldn't figure it out either. If it weren't for your instructions I'd be you know what...

Thanks Borka and Jnjroach. I finally got it to work by doing the same thing Borka did - manually cutting and pasting the following into the Surface Web browser and hitting enter:

ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade

It then launched the Store and took me to the Windows upgrade page. Now I just have to play with it to see what is different. Thanks for all the help!
