    There is an autounattend.xml with the default OEM DM pro key, That is just used to skip product key for install, After that I assume it picks up your key embedded in your bios and then activates.. :) :)

    I wanted my own install DVD's as I do many clean installs and don't like the recovery crap they give you. I found the answer here what versions I need that will work on the OEM computers that ship with Win 8. Go to piratebey and enter the following search and you will have what you need. I will give you both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

    Windows 8 RTM English, 32-bit (x86)
    Size: 2.45 GB SHA-1: 22D680EC53336BEE8A5B276A972CEBA104787F62
    Download: en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso

    Windows 8 RTM English, 64-bit (x64)
    Size: 3.33 GB SHA-1: 1CE53AD5F60419CF04A715CF3233F247E48BEEC4
    Download: en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso

    Yes you are correct landlord, unfortunately i don't know the language,but fortunately my friends Google translate & bing helped me understand the basic context of the thread.

    When it comes to ISO,I definitely know what to do with it.

    Thunder required no password for that URL.

    I realise I can re-name the file and although they are the same size I'd prefer to verify the hashes from the source.
