Please bear in mind that Intel® Compute Sticks are compact computing solutions designed to work as they come from factory. In the lower left corner of the Windows update page you find the "Add new features to windows 8.1" option. What Rico stated is correct, the only way to perform a healthy upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro or Enterprise is by doing it through the default Windows updates feature. Is there some file in the OS that is locking the upgrading? I know with Windows 10 there was a file hidden if you didnt have the icon and running this made it show so is there something like that?ĪNY help would be much appreciated because Intel is not helpful at all It WILL, however, boot to a Linux stick when I used the exact same procedures. I have tried all the forum posted fixes, selecting Ubuntu, restarting and hitting f10, nothing. I tried creating a "bootable" USB using different methods each time, the compute stick will not recognize it. When trying to add features, the system gives me an error of " Something went wrong" (Helpful huh?) iso, I have a good working key (just purchased specifically for this because none of our other machines are 32 bit) That intel tech probably just cost Intel a nice chunk of sales.Īnyway One more try and then I am tossing this in the trash, and going with another idea.ĪLL I WANT TO DO IS UPGRADE TO PROFESSIONAL TO ALLOW THIS TO BE ADDED TO OUR DOMAIN. These would be perfect for a project I have at work, but I have to prove it will work first. This is the second compute stick I have had, the first one I had to return due to a non functioning clock. in the sentence before this he told me Windows 8.1 Professional was NOT supported.
His response was " Yea, I know, I sent you the link". If you perform a Windows Reset or Refresh, you must upgrade again. After such an upgrade, the recovery partition still has the original factory image (Windows 8.1 with Bing 32-bit). Windows 8.1 Pro/Enterprise upgrades Intel Compute Sticks with Windows 8.1 with Bing (32-bit) installed are upgradeable to Windows 8.1 Pro or Enterprise. I am so frustrated by the tech right now as his only advice was to do updates. The technician sent me a link and told me that this was not possible, and the link had content that stated it was.
I hope someone here can help me as Intel could not.
