Thanks in advance ,

I want to install windows 8 pro on a machine which already has the windows 8.1 Basic installed.
Any way to do this, without uninstalling windows 8.1


I had asked same question before but it was reported as a non programming question , dont know why , because Hyper V is available on Windows 8 Pro. and i need Hyper V for some of my devlopment projects (mobile apps emulator)

Thanks.

Do you mean that you want both versions together on the same machine, or you just want the Pro version? If the latter then you just do a clean install.

Then you need to investigate multi-boot feature. There are a number of third party utilities that can help with this. I also seem to remember seeing a white paper on the sunject somewhere on MSDN. Google will help in your research.
