Windows 8.1 wil not download from Store

[mxplea10]

I refresh my laptop installing the original Windows 8 (from Windows 10) and choosing to delete everything. I'm having trouble downloading Windows 8.1 again although I'm given the option to Update to Windows 8.1 for free. The Store message is "Your Windows 8.1 install couldn't be completed Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed." I haven't had success with any thing that help others solve this problem. I've made sure that all Windows Updates have been downloaded and that all drivers are up-to-date. From the Command Prompt as the administrator, I've run net stop wuauserv and net stop bits and also a group of commands: attrib -h -r -s %windir%\system32\catroot2
attrib -h -r -s %windir%\system32\catroot2\*.*
net stop wuauserv
net stop CryptSvc
net stop BITS
ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution sold.old
ren "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\application data\Microsoft\Network

\downloader" downloader.old
net Start BITS
net start CryptSvc
net start wuauserv

Nothing has worked. Can anyone tell me how to solve this upgrade problem? Thanks...

It's suggested to make a clean installation of Windows 8.1 directly.

Since Microsoft offered the software for free, I wanted to try to download it before having to purchasing it. I downloaded both the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 ISO files using Microsoft's Download Tool. Instead of upgrading to Windows 8.1, I decided to upgrade directly to Windows 10 from Windows 8. I used the Windows USD/DVD Download Tool (http://wudt.codeplex.com/releases/view/37074) to make a bootable Windows 10 DVD. I upgraded to Windows 10 without any issues.

Thanks for your comment and I hope someone find this helpful.
