- Click the blue “Install Windows 8” button on Microsoft’s website as a first step to upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 by using a product key.
- As soon as the setup program (Windows8-Setup.exe) opens, you will need to enter the Windows 8.1 product key when prompted. Once the installation process has been completed, you will need to follow it until Windows 8.1 is downloaded.

- During Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 update, once you reach step 4, click the blue “Install Windows 8.1” button.
- Run WindowsSetupBox.exe to begin downloading Windows 8.1 Pro.
- The installer takes some time to decompress the installation files after downloading the OS. Use “Install using media” if you’re asked.
- Whether you want your USB flash drives to be ISO files or USB flash drives
Laptops or Computers Without an Operating System
You have just purchased your computer at home. However, there’s no operating system in it. Perhaps you’ve recently built your personal computer.
You are installing Windows on laptops for the first time, a completely different procedure. You can get a bootable USB or CD.
You can boot any of the bootable devices you have plugged into your computer once you have plugged in the device.
If your computer doesn’t have an operating system installed, the system’s hardware will automatically start the computer.
The BIOS is accessed when you turn on your computer by pressing “function keys + F2” together. As part of the installation process, the BIOS plays an important role.
It is important to note that in certain laptops, the shortcut for entering the BIOS will be “Function key + F8/del key” it should not be used since, on those laptops, the shortcut won’t work.
Setting up OS
When you complete this, your system will be restarted. You can rest for a bit until you have windows installed. Let’s begin setting the operating system.
The first thing to pop on the screen is the Personalize setting. Here you can pick any color you would like. The color you select will be the theme your computer’s OS will follow after choosing the color. Give your PC a name because your PC deserves a name. Name it however you like.
Conclusion
Lastly, make sure to download and install any currently available Windows updates. The update of Windows 8.1 Pro improves the performance of the operating system, as well as the hardware on your computer and the program or applications you utilize.
