Hello

Just finished making my first build. I haven't got an OS yet so when I boot up it says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" - I'm sure this is normal? Anyways, to the point - I don't want to spend 80£ on Windows but I am a student and have access to "DreamSpark" where they offer Windows 8.1 free to students and its 9£ for a backup disk. Would I be able to download windows 8.1 from dreamspark onto a flash drive and install it on my new build? If not I could just buy the disk from them and do it that way?

Yes. You can obtain the ISO from DreamSpark.
Use your DVD burning application to burn the ISO image to disk.
Or use this to use the ISO to create a USB boot drive. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.H...
