In fact, after this debacle, and problems with my XBOX, I may who do I need to speak to to either get my money back or make sure my software gets in the mail? Never again will I purchase a Microsoft product from one of their associates.
#DIGITAL RIVER MICROSOFT WINDOWS 8 INSTALL#
PC up and running I'm afraid I can't install it because I can't update XP adequately to allow me to burn this file to a CD. Other than having a Windows 7 Ultimate key, and missing funds from my bank account, I have no proof of my purchase, my computer is currently a mess, and even though the wonderful man at Microsoft sent me a link to download an ISO file to at least get my Not only are they closed on weekends, they apparently have a nasty habit of losing people's orders, and when you call them you have to play telephone Start to cry, I'm connected to a guy who immediately knows what my problem is, and it's Digital River. Finally, after having to cancel a photography job (because seriously, if I can't even install the basic upgrades for XP, how am I supposed to install my editing software?), and feeling myself I called Microsoft customer service (HUGE mistake), and was on the phone for almost 3 hour while I was passed aroundįrom person to person who was unable to understand my dilemma. I paid for the purchase, $212.13 was deductedįrom my checking account, and I was given a link to click on to, I assume, download my purchase. I was then taken to a page where I could purchase one of the new versions of Windows, and chose Windows 7 Ultimate. If you have any problems creating the USB flash media, you can still use the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create USB media with the Windows 8.1 ISO.I had a problem with Windows XP, went to reinstall it and it said my key was invalid. Pick "Install by creating media" again, insert a 4GB or larger USB flash drive, then choose the USB flash drive option. You'll be prompted to choose your installation option again. Just click on the "Install Windows" link on your Windows desktop. Once completed, you can actually go back and create the USB flash drive media as well. If you choose ISO, the ISO file (Windows.iso) will be saved to your PC and you'll be given the option to burn it to DVD. Step 7: Decide whether you want the installer to create USB flash drive media, or save the ISO file. When you're prompted to choose an installation option, pick "Install by creating media." Step 6: Once the ISO finishes downloading, the installer will take several minutes to check the download and uncompress the install files. Step 5: Launch the setup file (WindowsSetupBox.exe), which will begin downloading the Windows 8.1 ISO. Step 4: Back at the Microsoft upgrading to Windows 8 with a product key page, click on the light blue " Install Windows 8.1" button this time. Step 3: Close the Windows 8 setup window and confirm that you want to quit the setup. Continue the setup process until it begins downloading Windows 8. Step 2: Launch the setup file (Windows8-Setup.exe) and enter your Windows 8 product key when prompted. Step 1: Go to Microsoft's page for upgrading to Windows 8 with a product key, then click on the light blue " Install Windows 8" button.

Here's how to download the official Windows 8.1 ISO: The ISO is still worth having, though, just to be able to bypass the Microsoft Store when upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. Unfortunately, as Paul Thurrott over at WinSupersite mentions, you can't use the ISO to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 product key.
