downloading windows 8 iso after upgrading

builder22 · 19 Nov 2012 at 20:46

I understand it's possible to re-run the Win 8 Upgrade Assistant after installing windows 8 so that you can download the 2gb .iso file again and make a recovery disc/usb drive in case it's ever needed

I have ran the upgrade assistant, it goes through all the motions then asks for my credit card details again, If I put them in will it charge me the £24.99 again or does it realise at that point that i've already made a purchase ?

.......and then let me download the file again >?

You should use the link in your purchase email. You enter your product key and it will then run the download again.

Put your details in there, you'll get a download link for the installer.

is there any way to get that email resent ?

could you tell me what the subject is or who it's from so i can search for it ?

I seem to be missing emails from the day i installed windows 8, hopefully iy's saved in the windows folder somewhere!
