Windows 8.1 Upgrade
We have the option to upgrade from Win-8. How does this install work? Will any documents, pictures, files be wiped out? If you have done this upgrade do you lie it better than Win-8?

Do you still have your product key for MS Office 2013? If so, go to officesetup.getmicrosoftkey.com. You should be able to download Office 2013 install files. This is a Microsoft site.
Thanks for the tip 1492. No I never got the product key, it was just preloaded on this tablet. I suspect I could contact the reman company to get the key but, as I mentioned, I do so little Word and Excel work on this machine (actually, NONE so far in a year... that kind of work is easier with a keyboard for me) that OpenOffice should be sufficient.
And, yes, I DID read that about the "full upgrade" and losing things but since it'd not lost Office during the Preview upgrade I just "assumed".... even tho the warning was there. Not a big deal for me, I just wanted to inform the OP of a possible problem.
I was VERY impressed after the upgrade that all I had to do was click on each app icon to reinstall.
All things considered, it was the easiest upgrade I've ever done.
