I think most people have worked this out by now. Those two N version will eventually show up somewhere else, patience is still a virtue.
Can I kindly ask for Slovak versions of 8.1 Pro VL / Enterprise / Multi (Core/Pro)??? Both x86 and x64. Thanks!
You can ... but to no avail, as they are neither published at MSDN nor leaked for that reason so far ... en-US only .
I have a question, hope to get a clean answer... I have a windows 8.0 key, purchased from a IT store. As you know if you want windows 8.1 you need to upgrade it from the microsoft store. But if i will grab a windows 8.1 ISO, and install it fresh (old school) my windows 8.0 key will not work, because microsoft wants a windows 8.1 key. This is what i heard.... Do you think its true ?
very easy to do it old school wise. Simply install your new copy of 8.1 using a generic key (must be same version core or pro which you have purchased as 8 key), when installed you can use your 8 key and activate your windows with it, that easy

Ok so you say, that i install windows 8.1 iso, when he asks for a key, i use another key just to pass the installation, then when the install of win 8.1 finished, i replace that key with my genuine one from windows 8.0 and it should work, to activate it ?

Yep man, tested it right now. Grabbed the windows 8.1 update 1 ISO from here. Maked a bootable usb stick. Grabbed a windows 8.1 Core Generic Key: , then passed the key requirement in windows 8.1 installation. As soon as i was in the OS, changed the key wit my purchased genuine key, and it worked !!! So happy now. I didn't know this trick, and i really wanted to have windows 8.1 directly fresh installed.... This is also logic, because they allow us to install windows 8.1 through MS store with win 8.0 keys activated. So makes sense. Also, those ISO's posted here on the thread, u sure they are proper MSDN/Technet genuine ISO's ? I really dont want them to ban my genuine win 8.0 key...
