Thanks to S1ave77 for helpful answer. Sorry to be stupid, but I have a few more questions. I am running Win7 Ultimate 32 bit with DAZ Loader. As I said before working and updating perfectly. I am not 100% certain what version I have got - I had no problem creating and burning the ISO using Option 4. I started with x86fre_coresinglelanguage_en-gb.esd. The ISO is IR3_CSLA_x86FRER-en-GB_DV9.iso. I have made a note of the key posted earlier in this thread, will entering the key allow WIN8 to be activated automatically, or do I need to use another loader. Also I still run a DOS database which works like a dream under WIN7, does WIN8 provide decent support for DOS applications. My DOS database will not run properly under some of the DOS emulator programs. It requires FCBS to be set to 128,128 in config.nt in the Windows\System32 folder. Sorry to be a bore, but I started with the Sirius PC in 1982 running Multiplan. In many ways DOS was every bit as productive for real work such as accounting. The major benefits of Windows are in the visual arts and sounds.
The key should only be good for Installation, you'll need to activate with the Microsoft Toolkit or similiar afterwards. If you inted to activate via KMS, why not use a Professional version? No clue about the DOS database ... .
First time i know this i thought it's available for all just like Core, Pro that's a relieving info, thanks
I also want to try downloading SL Italian .. the question which I can install "windows ??" to download SL .esd
install win8 on a vm. Run the win81 offline setup program and use your SL key and it will download and then start installing things. Just cancel installation at that point and go into the setup folder. I think it's something like C:\~BTWINDOWS or something weird like that. Inside will be the encrypted esd IIRC.
A guy told me if upgrade from store, before it reboots back(to install), check the drive with another OS, the BT~ folder will have the decrypted install.esd. I have lost interest in these download things long time ago, don't want to install a win8 to try it out.
I'm doing some research how to get ESDs for Windows 8.1 Pro N. I've tried WindowsSetupBox.exe, but he gave me links for GA ESDs. I'm posting some GA Pro N ESDs, if someone needs it.

I've got Polish Windows 8.1 Pro N ESD from unactivated Windows. Now I'm downloading it. It's x64. x86 will be later. I'm uploading x64 now.
