    Works like a charm here. I did a new installation from the .ISO file with Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64bit German
    Everything fine.

    I had to manually install the fingerprint driver (like in Win 8) from Validity

    And again like with Win 8 the HSDPA card:



    At my system I had to download .net 3.5

    Everything fine.

    Even could update my HP Elitepad 900 with Win 8.1 Pro Preview
    Only having problems there with the screen brightness, which can´t be changed now and is… pretty dark. Oh well, waiting for a driver update there.

    Hi, thanks for the feedback. I installed it on a RAID0 volume in my 8570w and it went fine. I did not upgrade yet my 8560w (waiting the official version) but it will be go for me when it's available.

    Cheers.
