There are several reasons you would like to have a CD / DVD or a USB flash drive with them Windows 8 or the 8.1. The most important thing is, at a hollow time, that your operating system "crashes" and you have to reinstall it. A second is to ask for a "clean" copy of the Windows troubleshooting process.
But even if you already have Windows 8 installed on a computer, most computer manufacturers do not include a copy with them, or even if you have upgraded your operating system from XP / 7 to Windows 8 we are sure you have never made one. a "clean" copy.
Of course in itself a DVD with the Windows 8 / 8.1 it says nothing if you don't also have a correct, legitimate Product Key from Microsoft. We assume you have it and move on. There are 2 ways to get your hands on a bootable media archive of Windows. The legal way and the illegal way.(!!)
Download Windows 8 / 8.1 in the Legal Way:
There are two, absolutely legitimate ways to download a full copy of Windows 8.1.
The first is to pay for it (either as a student with a generous discount, or as retail customer, or a professional through annual subscription)
The second is to download, free, a copy Enterprise Windows 8.1 . Yes, of course, there is a trap: After 90 days, your computer will start shutting down every hour and will continue to do so until you replace the operating system. In other words, this is a trial version of Windows 8.1, designed for hardware and software developers to test their products.
We assume that you have purchased Windows or even purchased your upgrade from an earlier version and therefore you have paid for a product key. You made the upgrade / install but did not keep or ever ask for a copy of your scarf to see the new functional to decorate your computer. There is no panic. You can also download a copy. Just follow these steps.
1. You are rebuilding your old acquaintance step. Download the Windows installation from the upgrade page. That is, go here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
and press "Install Windows 8.1" or "Install Windows 8", depending on which of the two you have already purchased
2. When this file is downloaded, which logically will be called "WindowsSetupBox.exe" run it and follow the installation instructions as if you had XP and wanted to upgrade to 8. A new window will open and start to download Windows will ask you for the Windows Product Key. Do not try to find which Key you have in your computer now. may have changed after upgrades. Find it from your email purchase and write it in the corresponding field. When you write it correctly it will let you go to the next screen where it will start downloading Windows.
The standby time is enough and depending on your connection line it can range from 10 minutes to hours (!!)
An icon named “Windows Download” will be created on your desktop. Because the complete download work consists of 3 sub-processes, (the downloading, verifying and converting files), if you don't see this icon change name to “Install Windows” know that you are not yet finished with the download.
3. After the download is complete and the icon is now called "Windows Installation" the window changes appearance and gives you 3 options. Here is the crucial point. Logically, you used to select "Install Now" and skip the next 2 options. But now select "Install with media creation" and press the "Next" button
4. Here is a second important step. You can write Windows 8 and make a Bootable usb flash. Particularly useful option when you have a computer that does not have a dvd player, such as tablets, etc. Although the Windows installation file is 2 GB, the "bottle" should have at least 3 GB of free space. We are currently proposing the second option, which is to create an .iso file for dvd, which will currently be created on the hard disk partition (in C: for us)
5. After the download is complete you will have a complete Windows 8 / 8.1 .iso file in your computer's Documents. The exact point where you can find it will be displayed on the new screen. Click the "Finish" button to close the application.
The .iso file can be later transferred to a dvd or even a flash device (slider) making them bootable.
