- Well, since 8.1 is still supported, there are no liability issues with installing it. I would still try to assess why they want it. If it's because it's what they're used to from other machines,

 Yes, I am being paid. Dave

You will need to use upgrade installation media, it may not work with a full install of 8.1. Another option is to use Windows 10 winPE to install the 8.1.You will need to be sure to match the version

I will tell them that. Dave

- That would be interesting to know. But regardless of the reason, I have gotten pretty adamant with my clients about Windows 10 or nothing if the question of upgrading arises. It is completely
