Windows 8.1 = Windows Blue.
The iso files aren't yet available, and Windows Store is the only source for getting the (preview) update. The 8.1 page says "comming soon" for the iso's.
Don't feel like updating. Just saw Windows 8.1′s Start Button Isn’t A Start Button | TechCrunch
And the ISO files are probably available after today. How to Download and Install Windows 8.1 Free Preview? Upgrade or Dual Boot with Windows 8 - Tweaking with Vishal

Downloaded the 8.1 update setup, but says my pc is not eligible for the preview..
:'(
^^Check the hardware requirements. Also is your Windows genuine?
1. Ensure you have the latest graphic drivers. Also check if your PC meets the hardware requirement as @krishnandu.sarkar has already stated.Downloaded the 8.1 update setup, but says my pc is not eligible for the preview..
2. You need to have English(US). English(UK) is not supported as of yet.
The Windows 8.1 Preview is here!

Backup is recommended, suppose you don't want to continue with the preview.
Guys how about giving the FAQ a read? - Windows 8.1 Preview FAQ - Microsoft Windows

im running win 8 bro, i can backup my files but my main concern is program files
It should work unless except for "some" system utilities. Anyway it is not recommended to use a preview edition on your primary PC.

Even I don't feel like updating immediately. I'll wait for the final release.
The start button thing is already known that is just a shortcut to start menu before the preview release. Microsoft proved it has balls whithout giving into the whiners. It is unnecessary as the start can be brought up by clicking on bottom left corner already, idk why they need a visible button at the corner. just a waste of space on taskbar.
And also that techcrunch article seems like it is written by a grandpa .
From the article
"To open a new application, the user has to completely leave the workspace. It’s horrible on a laptop."
This doesn't even make sense. He says he has been using the OS since 6 months and still he can't figure this out.
Well I ignored that part. And I really loved the new way of Win 8. Didn't felt the lack of Start Button.
And I agree with you, that thing can be anyways bought by right clicking on left bottom. A dedicated button was not needed. If it was like the old Start Menu, I'd have accepted, but this thing was not needed anyways.

What Microsoft has done is just to shut up its critics. Give them something like a Start button, but it will work the same as it used to in Windows 8(which was kind of like hidden).
It kind of reminds me of the ribbon in MS Office. There was a lot of hue and cry over it, but now people have adjusted.

Yeah. But it just took space in the taskbar
