Welcome to the forum,

This should help you with that,

Option one is the easiest method.

I need the Win 8 iso.
My key won't work on 8.1

 

[derekimo]

Why do you say that? I have a Win 8 key but the 8.1 works just fine with it.

 

[KYHI]

Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 both can use the Windows 8 product key to install the OS

Was there a day when that was not the case?
I remember a couple years ago when a MS tech had me dl a ver of Win 8 then update because my 8 key wouldn't activate a Win 8.1 install.
Or perhaps it's just brain damage :>
In any event...THANKS!

Question for you. Would a Windows 8.1 key work if I wanted to activate Windows 8 x64 Core (the original)?
