Windows Connect
Should you want to give Microsoft feedback on your testing, you can sign up at Connect, but I dont think they are taking 8.1 testers right now.

Windows Store
You will also be able to download 8.1 from the Windows App store if you already have Windows 8.  There will be a notification that will show up for Windows 8 users to upgrade.
Windows 8.1 will be a free upgrade for licensed Windows 8 users.


Warning!  

You will have to wipe your hard drive when the final version of 8.1 is released, so you may want to use a test machine or backup your PC before you install the Windows 8.1 preview.  Windows Easy Transfer will allow you to backup your PC before you move to RTM, but that will not re-install your apps.
