Cannot get Administrator access to download Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hello.

I have a new XPS8700.  I have been unable to download the Windows 8.1 upgrade from the MS Store.  My first problem was a lack of Windows updates, which I did, and now I can see the 8.1 upgrade in the store.  I can also download updates to other aps.

My remaining problem is a continual notice every time I hit download that I need to first log into an account with admin access.  Best I can tell, this and other forums have shown me how to add Admin capability with the Command prompt.  I even created a second account and did the same thing.  Within the User Summary screen within control panel, both USers show "administrator".  Yet I still cannot get access

I have tried "net user administrator /active:yes" as well as tried same with swapping my name for administrator

The actual "administrator" user cannot do anything within the App Store.  That appears to be what is supposed to happen.

Does anyone have any advice?

Very frustrating to say the least
