Here is a link to an untouched iso: http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/windows-8-1-download/

 

Note this is an iso of the pro version, if your key is for the standard edition you will need another.

G5 casemod is done :D!

you can select which ever 8.1 version you want and it allows  you to create to DVD or USB , its all in one package.

 

and the download from Microsoft is fast

 

This is the way I'd recommend. It automatically creates the media on a USB key.

The projects never end in my line of work.

well what where you expecting? ^^ it's an os, 4gb aren't that many (although still more than most linux distros).

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
