I Had Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Installed, I did the Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro via the Windows Store (silly me ) and of course i soon found out that i could not Create a Rescue/Recovery disc as i usually do, I contacted Microsoft and was told that i cannot create an Removable Recovery disk and if i had problems i had to reinstall Windows 8 then re-do the upgrade to 8.1 .
I followed the Windows Eight Forums tutorial on how to get a Legitimate copy of the Windows 8.1 .iso, it worked brilliantly, I now have Windows 8.1 on DVD.
I think i might have made a mistake when i entered the Product code in the download Windows 8 step ( i used my genuine Windows 8 key ), But when i originally installed Windows 8 after a week or so i took advantage of Microsofts offer to install Windows Media Centre for $9.00 ( i think ) and i when i had installed it i got a different Product key to the one i installed with.
The Windows 8.1 on DVD is using the original Windows 8 Key, So If some Catastrophe befalls my Laptop and i have to do a reinstall (clean...?) Once i have done the reinstall can i then change the Product Key to the one i'm using now (Media Center). Or will i have to re=download WMC again.
Sorry for being long winded...
