Windows store does not show 8.1 upgrade / Cannot install because of missing admin priviliges / Administrator-Rechte Fehlermeldung

I tried to upgrade my sisters' brand new Dell laptop to Windows 8.1.
Doing that, i run into two problems:
1. Even after installing all Windows 8 updates, Windows store did not show me the 8.1 upgrade.

How-I-fixed-it:
I had to switch  to start screen and type "wsreset". Right click on the search result and select "Run as Administrator".

Having done that, I rebootet the system and the upgrade was shown.

2. I started the 8.1 upgrade, but there was a message telling me, I have to logon with admin priviliges to perform the upgrade. But i was logged on as the one and only Administrator on the machine.
In German:
Sie benötigen ein Konto mit Admin-Rechten um Win 8.1 zu installieren..Melden Sie sich mit Admin-Konto erneut an und versuchen sie es erneut

How-I-fixed-it:
I manually installed Windows Update KB2871389 on the computer:

After installation and a reboot, i succesfully ugraded to Windows 8.1
