My mom's laptop runs Windows 8.1 Core and is an OEM model. I received a Windows 8.1 Core key from a friend who helped me when I was stuck using Windows 7. When I tried to upgrade using the Win Upgrade Assistant, it reported an internet connection issue. I checked online and found many suggestions pointing to a corrupted key or expired license. I contacted Microsoft, who gave me confusing explanations. They suggested the problem might be with the USB drive's virus protection (which is unnecessary) or that my internet connection is faulty. They also mentioned potential costs for fixing the issue, but my internet speed was fine. I confirmed this by checking with Speedtest.net.
If you need another computer, download the 8.1 ISO using this hash a8b5df0b0816280ae18017bc4b119c77b6c6eb79. Burn it onto a USB drive with RUFUS or WINTOBOOT to retrieve your key from the tablet PC. Use a magic jelly bean keyfinder to obtain your CD key—though you might not require it. Regarding the internet step, install the necessary network drivers before connecting to proceed. To set up the 8.1 ISO, you’ll likely need the 8.1 install key and then switch it in Windows to your original settings.
You're asking about creating a bootable USB from an ISO file and handling the hash value. It sounds like you're trying to set up a recovery or installation environment.
Skip the remaining PC section...if you're not required...just realized you hadn't ordered the tablet yet. Just search for the HASH on Google and a download link will appear, then verify the has/SH1 using a hashing tool to confirm it's correct.
Download the Windows 8.1 update with x64 DVD for version 6051480.
