Does anyone have a DVD or ISO file for a 'full' installer of Windows 8 Pro? I have a licence key but I can only seem to find 'update' installers at our place, which require a previous version of Windows to be installed on the PC. In this case I want to completely blank a PC and install Windows on it. I could install windows 7, patch it etc then do an upgrade to 8 on top but I assume it'll be quicker to do a straightforward Windows 8 install is such is available.

I do have another box already on windows 8 (again, fully licensed) but I assume if I generate a 'recovery installer' from that it will try to install the drivers for the wrong hardware and things will fail miserably...

Anyone?

Not the Pro version I'm afraid.

Thanks for the offer, a friend supplied today. And then (of course) the PC I was trying to install it on developed a hardware fault.
