Im reinstalling windows on a friends pc. I have their windows 8 product key (they were not using 8.1). They system was locked up so bad i could not upgrade to 8.1.

What is the easiest way to get a windows 8 iso so i can install windows 8, enter the key, and then upgrade to 8.1?

interestingly enough, MS doesn't actually provide installation media for Windows 8, just 7, 8.1 and 10. Weird 

well... the Pirate bay it is... Thanks Microsoft
