..released..

I don't see it on my TechNet. but I have it on my surface.

..released..

I highly doubt it is available on TechNet.

 

[gilezzz]

You're right, no RT..

The leaked version isn't even working. Followed all the steps needed to prepare the upgrade USB and when done, the RT just errors out when double-clicking setup.exe "wsdcore.dll is not for this version of Windows or contains an error. Right.

8.1 RTM for Surface RT works great and lots of people have it installed successfully. "The leaked version isn't even working" is certainly not correct.

Okay, isn't working FOR ME. Better? If you're so clever than maybe you can help me out solving it?

You did the dism steps for the boot.wim and install.wim? Assuming you got the ISO with the drivers folder. Yes?

I didn't do those steps 'cause I downloaded the ISO that already has the drivers in it.

I've helped a number of other people getting this installed and I have no problem helping you. The steps in the link above are thorough. If you still get an error then it may be your ISO is corrupted or your current RT 8.0 has issues. I might try doing a refresh of the Surface with 8.0 and then do the upgrade next if you believe the iso is good. Let me know if you want to discuss this in pm.

I just did the upgrade last night from Preview to 8.1 RTM and there's nothing special with the steps if you have the ISO with drivers.

8.1 running smoothly on my Surface RT: Surface RT with Windows 8.1 RT RTM (Build 9600 - FINAL) - Performance and Review (Part 1/2) - YouTube

It's great, it feels like a brand new device :O

The ISO is good. It could be that my RT 8.0 has issues but I would find that very strange as I have the RT for about 3 weeks now (and I bought it new in store). Maybe I'll try a fresh install of 8.0

still curious about your particular error in wsdcore.dll.
the iso with drivers correctly injected should be:
size on disk: 2.49 GB (2,679,341,056 bytes)
(note that this assumes that drivers have been correctly injected in both Index:1 and Index:2 of the boot.wim in addition to the install.wim (there are two partitions in there). )
Unfortunately I cannot find any wsdcore.dll file in the iso nor in the install.wim. There is however a wdscore.dll file. Did you mean to type that?
Here is a link to that file from a working iso. Please check if it matches the one in your iso. Please PM me if you decide to try another copy of an iso with drivers injected.
