update windows 8 prof to 8.1
I have to update some DELL Optiplex 3010 PCs with a pre installed Windows 8 prof System
after completing the pre Installation where I only had to choose the language type, a PC Name and a user Name and Password, i invoked the store ICON comming up with a big window whre i can choose to update to Windows 8.1Pro
After a click on the button Download I get the Messge
You Need Administrator rights for installing Windows 8.1 ( I get this message in german language, so the translation might be different)
the user Name I used is a member of the local Administrator Group
I also tried to activate the Administrator account Logging in as Administrator I get a message
like It is not allowed to use the Administrator account for the Update

under local user and groups i checked the user I created during system installation
I can see that the user is a menber of Administrators
if I invoke UAC I see for levels (default was the third level) I testet the highest level,
restarted the computer but got the same result

Hmm... that did the trick? I did not have to have a verified login for the store to do it.
I need to log into the Store or I cannot access / update anything.

I don't.
Otherwise it should work - I did just as you did. Turn the computer all the way off, restart and try again.
