where to get Win8 .iso

[IMA UNICORN]

So im changing the HDD in a home computer used by my brothers. it was built using a OEM copy of win8 non-Pro 64bit and te disk has since been lost. the Microsoft Win8 and 8.1 installer don't work with the OEM prod key so where can i source a copy of the .ISO to install on the computer. I cant find a decent unmodified copy of non-Pro on any torrent site. ill deal with the issue of the OEM prod key later when its installed i just want to know where to get the .ISO. 

Thanks

You could just get MSDN. Best money you'll ever spend

 

You can download the .iso and get 10 product keys per operating system.

I know you could get the windows 7 .iso but Linking torrents to paid software is against the COC

The officially unmodified iso can be found her

You will need a vailid key to download the iso

 

Edit: only other option i should point out that remains within the boundaries of legality is to purchase another key.

i have a valid key, from the system builder .ISO, just the windows updater program refuses to accept it to give me a download. and i know its against the COC its just that i have to resort to using an illegal download with a legal prod key because of how anal MS is about piracy

Isnt that the Enterprise edition not just the non-Pro edition?

Isnt that the Enterprise edition not just the non-Pro edition?

As far as my knowledge goes you can't get the other one. Also why is that a problem isn't Enterprise the Windows 8 Ultimate?

My Product key is only for the Non-Pro edition

My Product key is only for the Non-Pro edition

If your key is not accepted on the micro$oft website, then I guess your only legal option is to buy a license.

The fact that Microsoft doesn't provide any official .iso downloads for Windows 8 is a major PITA, not least for the people who buy a laptop or pre built system that is loaded with junk/crap/bloatware so they can get a nice clean, lean, mean and non crashing system.

 

Has anyone done any SHA-265 or SHA-512 hashes of the official .iso's so if you were to download them you can be sure you have a legitimate one? That way we can get a system Microsoft intends instead of what some money grabbing OEM lumps you with.

[ohJey]

I would just get it from a p2p website if you already have a paid key.

The only way to get an OEM ISO legally is from the OEM that sold the computer, contact them. Otherwise, you need to purchase a new license or use Linux.

... Little bit expensive
