I am at the point of hysteria!

I purchased a Windows 8.1 key from the Microsoft store, but their stupid download tool doesn't download the ISO. I have struggled for days and just sits on 0%. I have tried it on more than one PC and at work, same thing.

Is there anyone that knows where I can download the 8.1 Pro Retail ISO? None of their tools and none of the tool workarounds have worked.

I know you can download it from MSDN, but I don't have a subscription!

F-ING IDJITS!!!!!!!!!!!

I am about to kick a baby Penquin!!!!!

Don't you run the risks of downloading all kinds of other shyte injected into those things? I wouldn't want to hand my bank details or something to some crook on a silver platter.

I've had issues downloading from MS/MSDN using browsers other than Internet Explorer.

If you haven't already, try the download with IE rather than Chrome / FF / Safari.

You can check the MD5 checksums against the originals to make sure it is the exact same copy....

Is their own app that facilitates the download, not a browser.
