I downloaded Windows 8.1 from Microsoft.com. Install over Windows 8 went smoothly. I then needed to redo three customizations that I had on Windows 8. I used regedit to set PaintDesktopVersion to 1 so that you see the exact Windows version in the lower right corner. Then I re-installed 8GadgetPack and got my gadgets back. Then I installed the latest version of StartIsBack to get the start button back. Windows 8.1 doesn't really restore it - just a button that goes to the Metro interface. StartIsBack setup also nicely sets Windows to boot to the desktop. So now all is well. Seems pretty much the same as Windows 8.
