Both the short description of the tool and the example scenarios are applicable only to installing Windows "on new computers". I know there also are tools for managing Windows updates centrally, but the 8.1 upgrade is in a category all its own. So this could be the right tool, but if it is the procedure is very unclear.

Ah okay, sorry I misread your question - I did a bit of research on using an unattended.xml and everything pointed to ADK - may be worth a shot?

@BenVoigt - There is nothing special about the Windows 8.1 upgrade. It was possible to upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7 as an unattended installation. Windows 8.1 is no different. I would just apply the same process with an extra step, changing the license key from a generic key, to your actual Windows 8 key.
