I am owner of windows 7 pro, in December 2012 I bought the upgrade to windows 8 pro (mail received key) then I expanded versions of Windows 8 + Media Center (received by e-mail key) other update available as 8.1 or 8.1 update 1 were downloaded automatically by the system how to perform a clean installation legitimate but starting from 8.1 udpate 1? is it possible? I'm buy windows 7 pro with thinkpad laptop - now I want to replace the hard drive on the ssd. step by step how to do this?
I think the only strictly legal way of doing it would be to use the win8 setup box program and let it create an iso for you. That being said, I don't think anyone at MS would object if you used the prowmc esd conversion tool and activated with your legit key.
