[QUOTE="awj, post: 1555606, member: 297516"] It was actually a Win8 Enterprise image, but I'm going to have to re-install using Win8 or Win8 Pro. The reason is that the image was from my workplace (legal, as I frequently work from home), however the Win8.1 upgrade is only available to Win8 Enterprise users if you're on the corporate network, yet my rMBP will not be allowed onto the corporate network. Therefore, the only way to ensure that I get 8.1 and next year's 8.2 upgrade is to not use the company's Enterprise image. AFAIK, there isn't a specific build [I]per se[/I]. Rather, Win8 comes with both BIOS and EFI setups. Everyone says this, but when I showed them my previous-gen MBP sitting with a blank white screen for 11-12 seconds they'd grudgingly agree. Maybe that had something to do with installing Win7 and upgrading it to Win8? I dunno. [/QUOTE]
