I've just got windows 8.1 from the microsoft store. Turns out this is a product key and windowssetupbox.exe about 6megs.

This is for a new pc which will arrive next week and I want to boot 8.1 from a usb.

How do I go about this?

Cheers

Pretty simple
Once you have your product key and are on a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7, follow these steps:

Run the Windows 8.1 Setup program. (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=271128)

When prompted to run or save the file, choose Run

When prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-digit product key you received when you bought Windows 8.1.

When prompted to install Windows 8.1, select Install by creating media, then click Next.

Select the type of media you want to use: either a USB flash drive or a DVD.

To create a USB flash drive

Click on USB flash drive.

Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port on your PC.

When prompted, select the USB drive you want to use, then click Next.

If you have files on the USB flash drive, they'll be deleted.
