That's easy. Install Win7 64-Bit and give up the chase for something that isn't worth chasing in the first place.

I'm not being cynical...just questioning what the ultimate goal is. Stability...productivity...predictability...makes my day. Spending a huge amount of my time chasing the solution to a problem that isn't even a problem unless you absolutely must have Win 8 is just a bad use of a very finite resource called time.

I have done everything. But nothing works. I got Windows from the time I purchased. That means already installed by manufacturer. But still the same.

Please see into it asap

I have tried all those workarounds posted in various forums. None of them worked! Download fails as it reaches close to 50%. Tried more than 10 times so far, after clearing store cache, software distribution folder etc. etc.

Finally, decided not to upgrade to 8.1. Peace...
