[SOLVED] Current Status of Windows 8 ISO's?

[LABFE]

I've managed to compile the ISO's I believe I need for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10. However, not finding a way to get Windows 8 ISO's. Do I even need these? Can you install Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 product key on a customer's PC? Any issues with this if you can? Will customers balk going to 8.1 if they've stayed on 8 to date?

There should be a Windows 8.1 media creation tool. As far as Windows 8, if you search the forums there are a couple of threads about using a generic Windows 8.1 key to get it installed and then using rweverything or similar software to pull the Windows 8 key from the bios and using that to activate.

They won't even notice, unless they find they no longer have to refresh Windows every week.

In fact might as well recommend they move to 10. Most people seem to like it better than 8 anyway.

There are numerous links on TN about this. This is a good one from @Porthos.

Great, thanks. I had searched TN prior to posting, but wasn't finding anything current enough. So I can evidently install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 product key, and will be upgrading customer to 10 in most instances. Solved..
