I shared the same question a few weeks back and still don’t understand the process. A user provided a link with steps → http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-dow...s-8-1-iso/. It’s unclear how using a product key affects its validity after installation. Does canceling it mean you can no longer use it? How do people get an ISO for Windows, especially since I’m hesitant about downloading one? Thanks, Blueprint

I utilized TechNet's ISO with a valid key, and everything functions properly.

No, Pro suggests it might have been TechNet.

Checking local laws and licensing agreements is essential. In many regions, using an ISO without proper authorization may violate terms of service or copyright rules. Ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

As long as the ISO is from a legal place, I don't see why not.

In short, using the product key after installation won’t work anymore. The key is only valid for the original Windows 8.1 installation. Once you download the ISO and run it, you can’t reuse the key on a new PC unless you reinstall Windows or obtain a new key.

I'm not sure, but I was wondering what version of 8.1 you're using. Perhaps I can help you find a suitable legal ISO.

Ugh, I really can't help you. Just make sure your key stays active even after installation. If the software says otherwise, contact Microsoft directly.
