So I've planned on assembling my first build tomorrow, I have my final pieces (case, ram, hdd) coming in the mail tomorrow and I'm eager to put it all together, but I haven't exactly got the OS yet. My college has a software distribution on its website, and when I goto it, it has one called ; Windows - Off-Campus/Non-Domain - Windows 8.1 64 bit Student ....
It has three seperate downloads, win8_1_64.exe, extractWin8_1_64.bat, and install_64.wim
It says an Activation folder will also be created with osu_activation.vbs in it, and that I am to use that after the install to activate my copy of windows 8.1....
Now the only issue is I have no idea how to do this from a computer with no OS already on it...I've heard of converting files to IOS but I don't know if I can do that with these. I must admit I'm a little loss....Or would it be possible to download the WIndows 8 Enterprise IOS, put it on a flashdrive, then upgrade to this copy from that? Suggestions, comments, help...Heh, Thanks a bunch you guys
