Missing Installation Files
My father and I were setting up Windows 8 on his Windows XP Computer.
He was cleaning out the C:\ drive to get that extra 16 GB of space for 8, when accidentally the files were deleted required for the setup.

Question
Is there a direct way to use our Product Key to re-download these files? We have it written down, but it isn't usable without a copy of Windows 8 to activate. Help?


Help will be appreciated. :)

[UPDATE]
We are almost finished clearing the 16 GB of space required, but still I might need a direct way to use our Product Key without the upgrade assistant?

Not if you can pick up a cheapo PC from a 3rd party that'll run Windows 8.
