When will I see the Windows Pro 8.1 upgrade?
I've got an XPS 8700 SE Dell, running Windows Pro 8.0, about 1 month old. When should I expect to see the 8.1 upgrade/update?

For now, you have to search out for the 8.1 update, either through the Metro tile or the Microsoft Store web site.
Microsoft has stated they are not going to push the update like service packs from prior OSes, ie, it won't appear in updates on its own.

I see the Windows 8.1 Pro update available in Windows Store, but it never fully downloads. For the past 2 weeks I've tried to download it. It gets to ~ 45% complete, then stops and starts over. I've rebooted the pc many times. Anyone with same frustrations?

I have an XPS 8500 with windows 8.0 and I get the same problem with downloading Windows 8.1 Upgrade from the Microsoft store.
I get 48% and the download restarts over again.
I would think Dell would provide the Windows 8.1 upgrade since Dell installed Windows 8.0 on my PC.
Windows 8.1 is free, so Dell should support the upgrade. At least that's my thinking. Maybe I'm asking to much.

I am not sure what the Metro tile is?

Microsoft are letting you upgrade from Windows 8.0 (Core) to Windows 8.1 (Core) for free. They will charge the same to go from Windows 8.0 Core to Windows 8.1 Pro.

Look in the Metro Apps Store. Should be the first entry.
