New 8.1 Pro Boot?

[Loe]

I have windows 8.1 pro currently installed from a upgrade key and I was wondering how I would make a new bootable usb for a fresh install?

 

I couldn't find anyway as it doesn't let me as I already have it installed.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Use that to download 8.1 and then put it onto a USB drive.

If it won't let you, follow this http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/get-the-iso-you-need-to-create-your-own-windows-81-dvd/

It doesn't accept my product key. Which is originally an 8 pro upgrade so I might partition windows 7 to try again

Then use the second link and trick it into letting you download 8.1 with your 8 key.

Basically start the windows 8 download, quit it when it gets to 1% (top right X button) then start up the 8.1 one from the download page and it will download it.

Then at the end select install by creating media, and click USB flash drive.
