    I have an Alienware M18x R2 and need to upgrade to Windows 8.1. My problem is that I can't find any Alienware Command Center software for win 8.1 for this laptop.

    I contacted Dell but they told me no such software was released.

    Does anyone have a download link to a version that will work please?

    Cheers

    Thanks. I guess I can but try and see what happens. This time around I'm going to do a clean install of Win 8.1 rather than go from Win 8 to Win 8.1

    Thanks that's what I thought. I wonder if the Command Center 2.8.8.0 for the M18x R2 would work in my MN18x R2.

    cheers
