Windows 8 Pro x64 (64 bit) ISO

Hi guys,


After searching for what feels like days (but is really only hours), I have still not managed to find a legit ISO image of Windows 8 Pro x64.


The problem I have is that I have the newest iMac and so don't have a cd drive.


I contacted microsoft and dicovered that if I have an ISO image of the version mentioned above, a student upgrade license would actually activate this with no problem.


ℹ I am a student and thought that I had to pay £99.99 for the full version but when using microsoft's online chat to get help from a sales advisor I found that if you ordered Windows 8 Pro Student version (x64) with back-up media (which costs nothing extra), you could actually complete a full install using this, only I have the problem of not having a cd drive! I then asked about an ISO image that is copied to a usb stick and she said that this would work fine.


So I just need to find an ISO of Windows 8 Pro (x64) Student version. (I'm not sure if the student version is exactly the same as plain pro version but it should be)


Thanks,


Jack

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

When you buy and download it should offer Setup Assistant to upgrade if you have Windows or a link to the ISO.


Did when I bought it.


Now because I had Windows 8 I could go and download the full Windows 8.1 Preview, but not if you don't have 8 already.


There is a link to Windows 8 Pro Student
