    Let's say I have an ASUS laptop with Windows 8 Single Language on it, after downloading the update via the Windows store, is there a way to copy those entire update files, put them on a USB to perform a clean install off the USB?

    I have a Windows 8.1 Single Language USB which I downlaoded from WZOR's leak but just t be 100% sure that what I have is the latest official current files?

    please tell me where are those setup files located if this is possible

    The installation media for Volume Licensing versions (Enterprise) of Windows 8.1 can do in-place updates over existing Windows 8 installs. Maybe a way to extract it from .ISO
