Brink, as I stated I already created the Win8.1 ISO. I also already created a Win8.1 installation DVD, so there is no need for me to use OPTION THREE. I was just making sure that I could safely delete both the hidden WebSetup and ESD folder, because I would have no need for them because I...

Edwin, on Paul Thurrott's site in your previous link, on page 2 of the comments, "maestro" confirmed a clean install of the newly created Win8.1(with Win8 converted key DVD) using a generic install key. Then use your Win8 key to activate.

Brink, after creating the Win8.1 ISO file I'm looking for a way to remove all the files created from Windows8-Setup.exe(Windows 8) and WindowsSetupBox.exe (Windows 8.1), to free up space on my SSD. Do I just delete the "WebSetup" folder located @ %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSetup...
