How to download a Windows 8.1 .iso with a windows 8.0 Product Key

Note the download requires a retail product key (Windows 8.0 or 8.1) and will not work with OEM Product Keys from major vendors which are hidden and reside within the system BIOS or minor system builder OEM licenses with a 25 digit product code.

The .iso obtained via this method is locked to the Windows edition (Core or Professional) unlike a MSDN/Technet .iso. It is however possible to download a retail .iso and use it to clean install on an OEM system providing both license are Windows 8.0/8.1 (C0re) or both licenses are Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional.

I have no idea why Microsoft made these flaws with Windows 8.1′s media distribution and warned about them during the release of Windows 8.0. The fact is OEMs do not always install Windows properly and this combined with the forcing of such a critical update via the Microsoft store leads to a very negative migration to Windows 8.1 for many a user. I hope Microsoft will provide direct links to an updated Windows 8.1 .iso which will accept Windows 8.0 and Windows 8.1 product keys or access to one for users with a registered Microsoft Account and activated Windows 8.0/8.1 product.

Note it appears Microsoft have released an updated Windows 8.1 setup file which does not work using the bypass product key entry when the Windows 8.0 product key is selected, however the direct link to the old installer should still work and has been listed below.
