Getting windows 8.1 iso file. Please help

Eoin247

Hi there,

I recently purchased windows 8.1 online using the student offer. I read beforehand that i could download the iso on another computer and boot it via usb on the computer i am building. However i can't find the iso file anywhere!

The setup from microsoft doesn't work since the computer available to me for downloading is running vista. Is there anywhere i can download the iso file on its own?

Many thanks!

I tried that earlier. For some reason my key isn't recognised at the start when i use the windows 8 setup exe. Unfortunately my key must only work with the 8.1 setup exe.

I've been searching on google for a while now as you would think somebody would have hosted the 8.1 isos somewhere else? The only one i found so far was on a torrent site, and it looked fairly dodgy.
