Default upgrading to Windows 8.1


I have been given a five-year old laptop with Window 8 and want to
upgrade it to Windows 8.1.

I went to the Windows store and clicked "download" on the "Upgrade to
Windows 8.1" page. After a short period it came back with "Something
happened and the installation of Windows 8.1 can't be completed."

"Something happened.."!! Well, we all know that Microsoft error messages
can be enigmatic, if not totally useless. But Microsoft appears to have
reached a new low with "Something happened"!

Can anyone suggest how I can discover a more useful reason for this
failure? Or another way of upgrading to Windows 8.1?
