This error may appear for multiple reasons. Some common causes are VPN clients and an unexpected System Reserved Partition size.

Try removing any VPN Clients and attempt the update again.

You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition.

If you have tried both solutions and you still experience Error 0x800F0922 please contact Microsoft Support so that we can further investigate your issue.

    This no longer works.

    There are two possible reasons for this:

    1. Microsoft has disabled the tool from accepting PKs due to every Win8 user being upgraded to 8.1. New customers purchasing Windows 8 would be upgrading from the store and not from this tool.
    2. A Windows 8 activation key can only be used once within the 8 installer, after that, the user will need to use a generic key to install Windows 8/8.1.

    What exactly are you using to install 8.1?  That error only occurs on the microsoft.com download tool, which no longer works.

    That error is impossible to reproduce on an actual 8.1 installation ISO because it is pre-programmed to accept generic keys for 8.1.  The generic key must match the version of Windows 8.1 you're trying to install [Core/Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.), but the error you're getting cannot be from an actual 8.1 installation media, as the 8.1 installer does not connect to the internet to verify PKs, it is pre-programmed to accept certain keys.

    Zomg guys, unbelievable, but after a few weeks of trying it finally worked!

    What I did:

    *Removing all VPN programs

    *Removing all virtual network adapters which were created by the vpn progs

    *Activating the 'App Readiness' in 'services.msc' like Michael Andrea said

    Left my PC with the update process and went for breakfast - came back and noticed the green marketplace icon in the taskbar. Eventually!

    This is so frustrating! I've tried everything I could find about solving this problem and nothing works! Everything is installed from the 2919355 update but that update itself. When I try to run the 8.1 install, I put in the generic product key and hit next. The next message I get is something similar to "We can't connect right now please check your internet connection." 

    I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
