Hi,

 

Be sure that W8 is fully up-to-date before attempting the upgrade to W8.1. I would suggest that you run for a while after the W8.1 update and see if your PC is stable.  If yes, then manually take a system restore point then proceed with the Windows update process. If your PC is stable after the Windows updates have been applied then manually take another system restore point and proceed with applying the HP recommended software updates for W8.1 that are posted for your PC.

Hi Dave... Happy New Year !!

 

Thank you, I'll definitely follow your advice.

 

  • Windows 8.0 is up to date.  
  • I'm currently downloading the Win8.1 upgrade.  I'll let you know how it goes.
  • I replaced the HP Samsung SSD with a retail Samsung 850 Pro MZ-7KE256BW this morning.

Success!!

 

No issues at all.  Immediately after the upgrade to 8.1 completed (as soon as it booted successfully) I backed it up.  I've restarted it several times and checked out some of the main applications.  It seems very solid.  I'll give it a day or so before applying the Microsoft & HP updates.

 

Thanks for all your help Dave!!
