So this lenovo iso still has to get activated?

 

I stand corrected.

 

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.

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.

 

Thundercats, thundercats, hoooooooooo...
