Yes it does. The name of the link just gives the initial problem however I found that later it seemd to show up in the store for many users and not give them administrator privileges. Problem Multiple users have reported KB2871389 to be installed usually via Windows Update and the Windows 8.1 update not displaying in the Windows store. Several other users have reported that the update appears in the store but that they have got the following error message: You need to use an account with Administrator privileges to install Windows 8.1, try logging in with the user account of an administrator of this PC and try update again. The root cause seems to be that KB2871389 is not correctly loaded either at factory settings or from Windows Update therefore must be uninstalled and manually reinstalled. [URL]  
Hi all, I had my hard drive replaced in December and it came with Win8 instead of Win8.1. Before the replacement I had no issues updating to Win8.1.  First, it took about a month to suggest the update to Win8.1 - after patiently waiting for all Windows updates to be done, I finally got the message that I could now get Win8.1 from the Store. I clicked on Download and after a few seconds I got an error message that read: "You need to use an account with Administrator privileges to install Windows 8.1, try logging in with the user account of an administrator on this PC and trying the update again." I checked my settings and from what I can detect, I am logged into my Admin account (I'm also the only user of my PC...). Does anyone have an idea what I could do to get Win8.1?? Thanks!
Can't download Win 8.1 from Store - admin account needed, but I am admin...
