just change your locale to en-us in control panel. it installs then :)
[Microsoft Surface] jimmng:
After step 4) I get "no destination specified for: C:\..............etc"

am I missing something?
[Microsoft Surface] 2300s:
Reset the Surface and pick German as language - then the update is available in the store
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Oh, so the germans get it and the guys in the UK dont, yeah go MS, I thought it was a US only thing didnt realise that us in the UK were being screwed over yet again...
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
Try instead: expand Windows8-RT-KB2849636-arm.msu -F:* C:\8preview\ (or what ever your directory is called) for me it wouldn't put it into the windows directory for some reason, then either copy it, or alter the target directory in step 5 so it reads:

start /w %SystemRoot%\system32\pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:C:\8preview\Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64.cab
[Microsoft Surface] aooga:
Guys, i would just wait for the ISO instead of risking messing up your surface.
[Microsoft Surface] xWolf13:
It was really easy to install. Just double click on the file to start it.. Wait until its over and when it boots back up go to the Windows Store and finish the process.
[Microsoft Surface] aooga:
I know i did it :) I was talking about the people in UK not being able to do it.
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
Yeah guess I'm gonna have to wait for MS to release a UK supported version. I managed to install the first update using the manual extract and install method, but no matter how I tweaked my language or locale settings, I couldn't get the update from the store, I just got the 'update is unavailable' message.

I've uninstalled the first update and I'll hang on for a fix, shame I was looking forward to IE11.

For those who got Windows 8.1 RT working, does the preview come with Outlook RT?
[Microsoft Surface] aooga:
It does. And not to make you feel worse, but it's amazing.
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
I'm saddened by you honesty, is it noticeable faster? I know sites like engadget are claiming that it's still just as slow (though as we all know these sites just source each other, one person writes something and 50 other site recycle the same old garbage).
[Microsoft Surface] jpijper:
I'm sorry to sadden you further, but this update is awesome for us Surface RT users! My main loves: 1) full-blown Outlook, exactly the same as on the PC desktop, complete with tasks, send-to-OneNote and everything 2) SkyDrive integration in file manager, but smart: not full sync until you actually need to work with something, but you can see what's there and even search. 3) Four rows of tiles on the start screen if you want, plus of course the different sizes. 4) Same background for start screen and desktop - transitions between the two worlds not nearly as jarring.

And maybe something you did not try: After I got the preview in the store I did this, which I found on the Microsoft Answers forum. Only then did I get the update to 8.1 started, after which everything went without a single problem:

1. Install the US language pack( if you haven't already.)

2. Override your system language.(Do this from the language options in control panel)

3. Press windows key and type "regedit" and press ENTER.

4. Go to this location "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\Language"

5. scroll down all the way to the bottom the last 3 entries "Default, Installlanguage, Installlanguage fallback.

5.# they should have the data values of "4090, 4090, en-US". So Default =0409, InstallLanguage = 0409, InstallLanguage fallback = en-US.

Most likely your language will be 0809 or something, which is British English. THen restart your pc and run the update, it will work and download with no problems.

**If it does not work, even after this, then go to this registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MuiCached"

change MachinePreferredUILanguages's value to "en-US" and restart. This should do the final trick:D
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
I had to do this the other way around once. Someone gave me their old PC which they had done a blank install of windows 7 on, annoyingly they used an american english copy rather than an english copy. Keyboard was screwed up and spell check insisted that I was spelling things wrong all the time, switching the keyboard layout to EN-GB worked only until I rebooted, same for dictionary.

Change a few registry keys, suddenly fine again. Awesome.

I eventually did a blank install of windows 7 with my own CD which was of course using english english not american english.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
I've got it on my RT (en-gb 32gb)

Downloaded the file, did the extract etc, put the language pack on, did the registry changed, downloaded and installed from the Store all fine, then did a full reset and set it back up as en-gb and it works fine, its just the piss about to get it to download to start off with...

As for ISO's, I have the 8.1 preview x64 iso here if anyone needs it..
[Microsoft Surface] aooga:
Honestly, my surface was never slow. Yes there was a bit of lag on certain places (like on IE when opening the tab bar), but now almost all of that is gone. It really is an improvement of something that was not really bad to begin with. The one thing that is still slow is opening apps from a fresh reboot, but that happens on my quad core i7 too, so its an optimization thing which hasn't been fixed yet.
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
Seems to be working, I'm downloading from the store as we speak, taking a while though.

I think I might do a full reset as well after install, did you just do a full wipe?
[Microsoft Surface] jpijper:
Happy for you: you're in for a treat. Disconnect your doorbell and phone!
[Microsoft Surface] jessenic:
I was able to through registry. First, go to "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer" and look for language folders, like en-GB. Now add them all in Control Panel, then delete their language packs. Now you are left with en-GB. Add en-US, apply it to welcome screen and new user accounts and restart your surface. Now you can delete they en-GB key from registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\en-GB" and make sure en-US is the only one left. Restart and hope it boots, then install the Windows 8.1 update, should not say not applicable. Worked for me.
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
Whoop, got the update installed, very nice indeed.

I'm loving IE11, the keyboard is also a lot better.

Can't get Outlook to load my work email, it doesn't seem to like connecting to the ActiveSync sever. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find a way round.
[Microsoft Surface] jimbob456:
I'm struggling with this too
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Windows [8] Mail acts as a mobile ActiveSync client, such as you might find on a phone. Outlook acts as, well, Outlook. It's somewhat silly but not that uncommon for admins to require you be on a corporate network (via VPN or some direct connection) before you can use Outlook, but allow mobile clients to connect from outside the firewall. I'm not sure *why* they do this - it's not like an attacker couldn't spoof a mobile client if they wanted to - but they do.
[Microsoft Surface] Griffinx:
Is anyone having issues with scrolling after the update? Both my twitter apps have choppy scrolling now, sorta jumps all over the place while you're scrolling
[Microsoft Surface] AlanJC:
I have that too. Sometimes the display won't rotate either, then later when I wake it up again it works fine. There are bound to be some updates required for apps. Scrolling in IE and Start are smooth and fluid though, so it's not scrolling itself, just the way some apps have implemented it.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Just a reminder: please report any problems you have to Microsoft! This is the last chance to get issues reported while the software is still under development. Once it goes to release and gets handed off to a maintenance team, changes will be much slower in coming until the next big refresh. This, right now, is the time to get your feedback in!

It's also not a bad time to complain about the continued/increased lockdown. Bear in mind that from Microsoft's perspective this isn't a bug; you have to argue from their point of view (it hurts sales, gives the OS a bad reputation among salespeople due to returns, etc.) if you want them to listen.
[Microsoft Surface] feygor:
That's annoying, I connect at work through a local exchange server, then I can connect either through an awful outlook web version or through a mobile client (like mail), I just want to be able to use outlook at home so I have my mail, calendar and tasks all in one place rather than in different apps. Is thereon way to configure outlook to act like a mobile client?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I've looked into it, it would seem that the inability to connect to my work sever by ActiveSync isn't a sever problem, it's actually blocked by Microsoft! It would seem that they much prefer you to connect through exchange (even if that's only possible at a local level), and because of this, exchange ActiveSync connections only work to connect to non-MAPI severs such as outlook.com and Hotmail.com.

It seems silly that they've finally implemented the possibility of using outlook for EAS and then they block it, surely we should get the preference on whether to use EAS over MAPI, I shouldn't be just assumed that we'd never use it!

Need activation again?

My Surface Pro was upgraded to 8.1 through Windows APs store. However, it pop-up a window to ask for product key for activation after upgraded. I could not find the OEM key for my Surface pro. There was no printed product key came with the Surface pro. Does anybody have the same issue?

And also, the Desktop Skydrive stopped working after upgraded.

Not sure if this will help, but here is the activation key for iso installs:

[Microsoft Surface] Brightxda:
Yes, This one works. Thanks. Just wonder why the upgrade does not pick the OEM key.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Yes, just the quick one though, not a FULL reset, cant imagine it'd make much difference other than in time thought.

hello developers..

here is the situation..

1.My dad wants to install LaTeX(a journal type-setting software) on his transformer prime tf201..So he wanted to install windows 8(which i convinced him to be impossible due to hardware limitations)

2.Now he came across ubuntu for tf201 which he thought would be another choice to have LaTeX on..but he wants to make sure that if something goes wrong while installing ubuntu, he should be able to BE completely stock again(stock ics or jb rom, stock recovery, stock ics or jb bootloader)..

3.the transformer prime currently runs fully stock jelly bean rooted..no twrp or cwm installed yet..it was updated from ics OTA..and was never attempted for nvFlash access before or after the update..

My questions are:

1.Can we install LaTeX on Ubuntu_for_tablets?I mean there is LaTeX available for ubuntu desktop..i don't know about its availability for ubuntu_for_tablets..

2.I came to know that if tf201 is updated to jb without nvflash access on ics, it can't be downgraded back to ics again..So how do i come back to ICS(or JB, it doesnt matter unless its stock factory image) once i install ubuntu touch(correct me if i am wrong, i regard installing ubuntu as just installing any other custom ROM)??

3.Are there ways to COMPLETELY backup the tablet??
