Why upgrade from 8 to 8.1 Enterprise is not allowed.

Hi,
I have MSDN Windows 8 Enterprise installed.

Someone should explain me why the hell 8 isn't upgradable to 8.1 nor via store nor via iso. 
Why I should format my pc??? The "keep my files" installation only moves them to another directory leaving the system a mess...

Hi,

You may need to know the following when you upgrade to windows 8.1 enterprise:

Upgrading from Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise:

Download your Windows 8.1 Enterprise media from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Please note that Windows 8.1 Enterprise cannot be updated from the Windows Store; it can only updated using media obtained from the VLSC. Use this media to either:

Perform an in-place update of existing Windows 8 Enterprise installations.

Refresh existing computers using MDT 2013 or System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager*, or burn the media to a DVD or copy to a USB key for simple installation.
