How to have a disc of the 8.1 upgrade ?

JohnyAnsket · Mar 24, 2014

Hello

So I've purchased windows 8 pro key , and then installed the windows using an official windows 8 ISO burning it to a DVD .

then I installed all the updates for the windows " around 1 gb size " and then upgraded to 8.1 from the store " around 4 gb " all fine now but , the problem is my internet is so so slow , so I've the official ISO for windows 8 in case I need to re install windows if it was broken or for a new machine or something

So I'm done with 8 , but how can I get an ISO or something for the 8.1 upgrade ?? I can't use a win 8.1 ISO because my product key is only for 8 pro not 8.1

Wish you understand what I mean ..

Waiting for any help

Will this help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only ? Specifically, interrupt the installation as described here: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8-1-iso/ .

Where did you buy the key? Will they provide any support?

What you need is to create a System Image then you can use the 'Repair' option from your Installation DVD to recover your system from the image. To create a System Image you'll need an external USB drive, a 32Gb Pendrive will probably do the job unless your 'C' drive is bigger than that...
Search for ‘File History’
Select ‘File History’
System Image Backup (Bottom Left)

Then if you encounter a problem...

Boot from Installation disk and choose 'Repair'
Choose Language and progress through Troubleshoot and Advanced Options to Restore from System Image, insert Final Dlsk of Image or Pendrive when prompted and click Retry.

Your Backup Disk details should appear. (DVD backup as example)

Click Next

Leave Format unchecked if it’s a new disk then click Next

Click Finish to proceed with Restore
