The solution I choose is simply to end this thread! It will most likely be the first one!
THE FIX without losing any data!!
You may want to write these down or have a way of knowing what to do, you will have no internet on PC for a majority of the time!
1. Download 8.1 from store
2. When its done DO NOT restart, click cancel and then shut down, making sure all your old drivers for internet card are uninstalled AND 8.1 DRIVERS ARE DOWNLOADED, Not installed!
3. When shut down, unplug PC and open up case, and remove your Internet card.
4. Turn on PC and let PC update to 8.1
5. Install the 8.1 drivers for internet card which should have been downloaded not installed!
6. Shut down PC
7. Put internet card back in
8. Boot up PC, set up internet connection, and enjoy your done! You have windows 8.1!
I tried this on my PC and it worked thought I'd share it on my own post where I couldn't find a fix.
I have seen a lot people look at this (around 22,000!!) and not sure if it is actually working for everyone. Not sure if you can still reply but I'd love to hear from people letting me know if it is working!
The error I was experiencing below!
Hello Tom's Hardware,
After many many tries i have failed to update to windows 8.1 because of the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, I have read places that it could be my ASUS PCI-E Wireless network adapter. I have very recently taken it out and reinstalled drivers. I may have to do this after downloading windows 8.1 but am seeking further advice before doing so.
My PC specs are:
ASUS r9 280x (GPU)
Intel 4670K (CPU)
ASUS H87M-PRO (Motherboard)
PCE-N53 PCI-E Adapter (Network adapter) SOURCE OF ERROR!
Corsair 750W power Supply (PSU)
8GB RAM
1TB (HDD)
The PC is quite new (less than 1 year) and built by myself. This is the only problem I have had and would really love to update to 8.1.
I am almost 100% positive that all my drivers are up to date as microsoft have told me over and over "Your drivers are probably out of date" they are not!
Help is appreciated
