Hello everyone I was wanting to know if there are any places to download Windows 8 editions legal iso. I'm asking this is because the computers I got a few weeks ago didn't come with a windows 8 disc. So is there any way to find legal copies of iso like you can on Windows 7. (Digital River)

It may not be useful at all, as your New PC probably some with a OEM key that will not work with download version. What brand of PC it is ?

Samsung probably use the bios to activate Windows, in that case you probably have no key and the ISO will serve nothing

With win7 - you could just grab the install media and use the coa stickered on the machine.

They don't have those anymore as far as I can tell.

I don't know what you do if you have a problem - I suppose conact the oem.

That might not be so welcome after you have had the machine for a years- also there may be charge - and you may have to wait for recovery discs to be sent. That might be disastrous if you have to wait - you may have an exam/important meeting/whatever.

Plenty of people like to do a clean install as soon as they get the machine - get rid of the bloatware for example - don't know how you are supposed to do that.

Maybe now you are not supposed to do any of that. You bought an oem machine - you have to rely on the oem - you can't reinstall at will - tough luck.

Surely there must be some way to run off manufacturer recovery discs. It's better than nothing.

From what I ear, Asus ROG Notebook don't come with a DVD anymore, so I guess someone will need to purchase a Disk with a key, if they want re-install Windows, and they don't make a recover image when it was time ....... this is another minus for Windows 8.

I see myself explain to someone ....hey I have to charge you $ 100 for a Windows because MS find a way to sell it once to the manufacturer and sell it again to you..... who do you think will have $h...... me of course....

http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com...N-US-HRM_CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO?lcid=1033 Get one there.
It should ask you to download the manager, it is safe so get it.
Then wait.

I think that is the evaluation iso. Limited trial period only.

Not the same as a regular install .iso

Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant - Download and Run--You would need to download the ISO on a machine running qualifying software that is the same bitness as the machine you want to install on. Also, the upgrade assistant would have to "recommend" the Win8 version you want--Pro or Core.

Windows 8 Upgrade ISO - Download or Create--You would need an upgrade product key in this case.

Some will say find a genuine ISO, of the needed type and bitness online. I'd do that if I believed that following such a procedure is EULA consistent and I was certain that I had found the real thing online. Not recommending, but see, for example, The Official Windows 8 Repository.

I do not know about Samsung. I have an HP laptop and when create a backup copy of Windows 8 would not complete(HP allows that) I contacted HP Support with chat. After some back and forth the agent agreed to send be back disks for everything. You might contact Samsung support.

You could download enterprise eval iso and convert to some other edition.
Converted iso will match official sha1 hash, i'm not sure posting a link is ok
so google is your friend.
