    The download link in this thread is to be used for regular and pro. The other link is although genuine is not the published version so it should not be used. The link in this thread is the version listed on MSDN and is the official version. Currently there is no "trick/method/loader to use to activate Win8". To activate you must have a legit key. The keys I have listed in this thread are just to install windows 8 and will not activate. This will allow you to run windows 8 with barely no restrictions except for every few hours you get a blue screen telling you to activate windows. A button on it sends you to the activation screen. Then you can go back to what you were doing. It is a little bit annoying but worth it with all the other awesome things windows 8 gives you.

    No need to use a key as this is pre-installed with this LIMITED version. Why not download a pro or enterprise, which you can use forever? 90 days is quite a bit short in human life ... lol

    Find your version here at MDL ( I will not search for you) and enjoy your enterprise installing without key, as this is pre-installed. After that you go to KMS thread and read, how to activate it. So easy :D

    Hello!!
    I activated my Windows 8 Professional copy as I said in the "KMS topic", some days ago.

    I will install windows 8 on another pc, but I see that I downloaded an x86-x64 iso of Professional.
    I suppose this is a modded version.

    Where do I find an MSDN iso version of x86 (or x64) Windows 8?? (ITALIAN)

    And, I know there are 3 editions: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 Enterprise.
    Which I have to download just to have ALL version like Windows 7 Ultimate ISO deleting "ei.cfg" file ???

    I hope there is only 1 ISO to put on USB, just to install Windows 8 as "Professional" or "Standard" during setup.

    Hello ...
    Note that only versions Pro (N) or Entreprise (N) can be activated by Kms

    On the original Retail DVD Pro and Core version are present. (2 indexs )

    Howdy guys, need ur advice :
    1 - is file : "en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso" already include the "Enterprise" & "Pro" version?
    2 - or do i need to have each of the version : "en_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917587.iso" & "Windows_8_Pro_EN-US_x86.iso"
    3 - Why the size of "en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso" exactly the same as "Windows_8_Pro_EN-US_x86.iso" ?
    Waiting 4ur kind reply, G'Day :spoton:

    infos from technet

    1- contains English Core and Pro version > SHA1 :22D680EC53336BEE8A5B276A972CEBA104787F62
    2 - Entreprise English contains only 1 version Entreprise > SHA1 :FEFCE3E64FB9EC1CC7977165328890CCC9A10656
    3 - it's possible that is the same thing if the iso was renamed

    Good, thanks for the link of ISOs
    But my meaning was different.

    The Windows 7 Ultimate x86 ISO contains ALL the x86 editions, deleting "ei.cfg" file I can use 1 dvd only for all x86 editions.
    Which edition of Windows 8 ISO I have to download to have all editions in 1 iso?? Not to create by myself i mean.

    Thanks, again :)

    ok... i will be more accurate...

    there are 3 editions of Windows 8: Windows 8 (like a Home version), Windows 8 Professional, Windows 8 Enterprise. Right??

    is there an MSDN ISO containing that 3 editions ??
    is there an MSDN ISO containing Windows 8 and Windows 8 Professional ??

    maybe just deleting some configuration file like the old "ei.cfg" of Seven ISOs

    I hope I explained right

    well the download of the ISO's is so slow, only 14 seeds. Ive updated trackers ...
    by the time i get to try win 8 ....windows 9 will be out...

    any links to ISO's on HTTP sites? ill use IDM rather...since people dont share on torrents like they should. bums.

    Hello,
    There is no MSDN iso containing all versions of win 8...
    The iso "en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso" contains only the Core and Pro images. The Enterprise version is another DVD.

    If you want all versions on a DVD you can even play as me with AIO ...

    Does that require a dual layer DVD?
