Can anyone explain why microsoft charged me $100 to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my New Inspiron laptop (7000) series. Dell on-line technician attempted to download the update but was unsuccesful and referred me to Microsoft. MS informed me that because my Windows was an OEM install I would have to pay $100 to upgrade. Apparently the Dell people were unaware of this because they spent a significant amount of time attempting to install the upgrade before they gave up.
