I have 8.1 preview on my vivotab rt. can I upgrade to retail version or do I have to downgrade to 8.0 for the 8.1 upgrade to show in windows store? has the update actually hit the store yet for vivotab users?

You can upgrade from the preview. I did it earlier today. This version works a lot better than the preview!

I had to downgrade before I was able to update

Installed the RT 8.1 update on my VivoTab and so far it is a beast for sure. Mine is not a regular VivoTab though as mine is from At&t so it has stuff like the cellular modems in it and free keyboard dock. But all in all it seems to be doing great. Took it a while to download and run through the setup but seems to run a lot faster than before.

Agreed. I have the WiFi version of the VivoTab RT...it's really running quite well. The perfect work tablet for me at this point.

I have a version with 3G and keyboard dock as well (didn't get any help from a cell phone provider though ) and I am really happy with it as well! It seems to be way more stable than the preview!

There is only one minor down side that I can see so far: if I click a link in the mail app or in Nextgen reader it will open IE next to the mail app or Nextgen reader in a 50/50 division of the screen. I notice that in 9 out of 10 cases I drag the divider to get IE to full screen again. Is it possible to change this default behavior?

Can the windows.old folder be deleted after the upgrade without any issues going forward?

 

[Plantje]

I think it will be deleted automatically

 

[inteller]

no it isn't you have to use disk cleanup to get rid of it.

Congratulations! You have just managed to write a whole sentence in English...at least to some extent.

A little bit more information would be useful. Do you currently have Windows 8 on the device? Or is there for some reason no OS on the device at all?

If you currently have Windows 8 RT you should make sure all Windows Updates are installed. Then check the Windows Store and you will see the 8.1 update.

Good luck!

I already have windows 8.1 rt but how to activate the windows " product key" there are an error code : 0xC004C003

Looks like you may want to call Microsoft to get it activated.
Otherwise you should be able to find some pointers here: error 0xC004C003 - Bing
