Yeah, i did.
Windows 8.1 which you download from Windows Store is an upgrade. Your files and applications are not going to be deleted. :)

Hi it worked great tip for any one reading don't do a windows 8 refresh
Or you will need to do boot camp all over again like I did
Says it keeps your files yeh but that's it removes boot camp all your programs
And internet & wifi settings

Yep. First one failed with error
0xC1900101-0x40017
Second time failed with error
0xC1900101-0x30018
Third time failed with error
0xC1900101-0x20017
I had to install new video drivers direct from Nvidia and I had to do it in safe mode - which was a little more involved than I'd hoped.
I also disabled Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.

Once I did this the upgrade went fine.
