    As a work around, I would suggest you to create a new user account and try to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from new user account.

    Create a user account.

    That'd be a negative. Nice try though. 

    My process took me through a fresh install of Win8 on a new drive innumerable  times. Using 3 different "Microsoft Accounts", including that of a Microsoft support desk person, who tried unsuccessfully for over 2 hours. 

    Get an 8.1 ISO  file, preferably from a trustworthy sourc.
