peacemf Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 yeah I was wondering this myself. I downloaded and updated to windows 8 but It didn't create a iso or any sort of file and there doesn't seem to be a way to simply reinstall windows the same way Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1117133-how-do-i-redownload-my-3999-windows-8-back-up-disk-still-not-here/#findComment-595296455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We need more info. Do you have the setup file?

kevpan815 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks for letting me know. I guess I get to wait for the Back Up Disk.

TSan922 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=262204 Run this file. It'll download Windows 8, and give you the option to create an ISO or copy it to a USB drive.

xWhiplash Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I had to do the same thing. You should have received an email "Thank you for ordering Windows 8". In that email there is a string saying "If you need to download Windows, write down your new product key and enter it here." where "here" is a link to download the file again.

OMGr8573 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The email they send you after you buy Windows 8 download gives you a link to download it again. Says "If you need to download Windows, write down your new product key and enter it here" the word here is the link. It's towards the top of the email. neo1911 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1117133-how-do-i-redownload-my-3999-windows-8-back-up-disk-still-not-here/#findComment-595296535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 OP, your question was too vague. In order to help you, I just needed to know where you were in the setup process, what you had, and what you don't have. I wasn't asking for personal info. skilithead 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1117133-how-do-i-redownload-my-3999-windows-8-back-up-disk-still-not-here/#findComment-595296555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eins.MY Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Simple way is buy original serial key using Upgrade Assistant and download the ISO elsewhere best is using MSDN untouched ISO (32 bit or 64 bit) please check the hashes first before downloading Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1117133-how-do-i-redownload-my-3999-windows-8-back-up-disk-still-not-here/#findComment-595297447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
COKid Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well, since the OP chose not to apologize to Dot Matrix, that pretty much sums up all I need to know about his character at this time. Listen, I'm all for self-policing others on forum sites, but maybe someone in charge should just close this thread. The OP may have reacted in a bizarre manner, but his question was answered. No use piling on the poor fellow.

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 5, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2012 [Thread cleaned] Everyone please calm down. To the OP: if you wish to seek help that is fine, but please stick to the topic and avoid going off at others. To everyone else: we don't need to tar him with traces of his background from the rest of the 'net.

kevpan815 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I must Apoligize if my post sounded Rude. I simply did NOT understand what Dot Matrix meant by what he said "We need more Information if we are going to help you." I do have both a Learning and a Mental Disorder and sometimes miss under stand what people say. In a better reply to Dot Matrix'es Question, I did Save the Product Key that allows me to Re-Download Windows 8 by Printing Off the Invoice with the Product Key on it. However I cleaned Up my Inbox and did NOT save my 2 E-mails that supposedly had the Re-Download Link on it and as a Result was Unable to Re-Download Windows 8 until the Other Person Provided the Re-Download Link due to my Back Up Disk NOT having Arrived yet.
