I am building a new PC and have brought windows 8 pro 64bit through my uni.

I don't have a optical drive so what do I need to do

I have a 32gig ipad

Spare PC or laptop? Do you have a Win8 .iso?

I used the above tool yesterday and now up and running fine. Downloaded the iso from a torrent site and used the key from the disc.

Just use a 8gb usb stick.

I prefer using rufus for making bootable ISO. It always works without any problems for me.

I tried Rufus, but its incredibly slow. Makes me ill with boredom waiting for it.

The Windows 7 download tool is perhaps the best there is. KIA Linked to it.
Used that just fine for WIN7 and 8

Another nice one you can try is WintoFlash
