So no way?
Probably no. I had searched for the same when 8.1 had arrived and had found no feasible solution.
Probably someone else in this forum might have an answer.

Use Advanced token manager to backup your activation status, install the 8.1 for the same version of Windows as your laptop came with. Re-activate using the same software. 100% legal AFAIK.

Actually they are all different types of licensing terms 
OEM is for hardware patterns like Dell, Hp etc. Usually comes pre installed with pc and attached to MB/CPU. So it offers very limited number of reinstall / hardware changes. Also it needs to be purchased in large volumes from MS. You may see OEM copies are selling at a lower price but it's just that someone bought these in bulk from MS. Then instead of installing these copies on thousands of laptops or pcs they are selling the license key and the disc instead with a nice profit margin. But for versions like these you can ask for support from MS AFAIK,
RTM sands for = Release to Manufacturing which indicates a stable version of windows is ready for mass distribution to the hardware partners. This version comes before the final / retail version.
Final / Retail box packed version = This is the version which you should get to get the best windows experience and hassle free support.

Can anyone please confirm whether locking your PC (Win + L) makes it to go to deep sleep or something?
I have already set "Never" to Sleep in Power Options. Actually one night I locked my PC and on morning I saw that PC is running but lights of Keyboard + Mouse were not glowing, even I couldn't wake up my PC. I needed to restart.
But before that, when I didn't lock my PC it was working fine. I just locked it so that accidental use of mouse / keyboard doesn't affect anything. So hope you understand my query. AFAIK locking PC has nothing to do with Sleep if settings are fine (which is done already).
I thought may be it hanged or something. Can anyone please confirm this?

u r right. Win+L or auto locking doesn't make them go to sleep.
Thanks for confirming.

Go to Network and sharing center
on the left click change advance sharing settings
On private expand and Turn on network discovery and file sharing
On public network expand and turn off ntwork discovery and file sharing
When saving it ll ask to log out. logout and log in.
