hi everyone... i found this link...
Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help
where you can download windows 8.1
to a usb flash drive or an iso for a dvd
i was thinking of using it to do a fresh install
to get rid of all the oem stuff cause it's really slow
but the page is unclear as to what it really is...
in fact it doesn't say at all...
it says to choose the same edition of windows
and to check what edition you're currently running
which makes it seem as if it's for those
who already have it...
"no it's something else..."
it also says you’ll need a product key
if you’re not running 8 or 8.1
which i am...
after six hours i have the 4gb file
which it offered to burn directly
to dvd which was nice...
afterwards it directs you to a page
where it says you need a product key to use it
and it's on the box...
what is this... does anyone know?
is it worth anything at all?
is there any way to do a fresh install of windows
without buying windows
when you already have windows?
