    Default Microsoft provides download of Windows 8.1 (incl. Update 1)

    Owners of Windows 8(.1) can legally download a clean installation media at Microsoft. Enter an installation key is no longer required for the download, but only becomes due when the install.

    From the you download a small program, which can be run without installation. It offers the download of "Windows 8.1" ("Core") and "Windows 8.1 Pro", both in 32 and 64 bit as well as normal and N-version (i.e. Not with Media Player).



    Running this tool an ISO image ends up on the HDD. Alternatively, the program offers setting up an installation-USB-stick.

    The installation media contains Windows 8.1 includes update 1.

    Be aware, download may take up to 1.5 hours, depends on your internet speed.

    EDIT:

    Automated creation of the bootable USB-stick ( at least 4 GB, because ~3.5 GB get copied onto ) takes up to 15 minutes
