Yesterday I started downloading 8.1 on a Windows 8 system for hours but it still wouldn't finish. I shut down the computer and tried to restart today hoping it would resume as I expect it works like Windows Update which would always resume, when restarts, from where it leaves off when computer shuts down. I restarted the Windows Store and there was no sign of anything has been partially downloaded.
Could it be clarified how the Windows Store download works? If the download cannot be interrupted, how long the 8.1 download would take. I understand the download is onlya little more than 3 gigabytes. I had downloaded some operating system software up to 2 gigabytes from Microsoft server, it didn't seem to take that long.
