I did not have any problems. It does take a while to do the upgrade though. You'll want to allow at least an hour for the download and installation. I like 8.1 better than 8.

Windows 8.1 is extremely better than 8.0. The only issue I hit was that every 8.0 update had to be installed before it would let me upgrade the computer.

Thanks. I check the 8.0 updates daily so that's not a hassle for me.
I started the upgrade on my home office laptop this morning around 9 or 10, and it's still going. It's progressing, very, very slowly, but progressing. Don't know what the deal is. It's a desktop-replacement grade laptop with a quad core processor and 16gb of ram, so hardware isn't the issue. Right now it's displaying "Getting Windows ready. Don't turn off your computer," so I think it's about done.
It's going to seriously screw up my Monday morning if it hosed that system up.
I upgraded to Windows 8.1 this morning and it took about three and a half hours. With the exceptions of a few minor changes, I don't see much difference.
