#Where is the windows 8.1 media creation tool license key#
Yes, you'll need a Windows 8 license key to validate the install. Windows Media Creation Tool is an installing and upgrading utility developed for Windows systems by Microsoft. Once the media creation tool is finished, you can use the USB flash drive or DVD (after rebooting) to install Window 8.1.
Head to Microsoft's installation tool webpage, connect your USB flash drive (at least 4 GB of space should be available) or insert your writeable DVD, and then click the Create media button. It provides ability to restore your Windows system if fails to boot Windows, upgrade the installed system and fix the booting errors after after installing a Windows update. Save the ISO image to a USB drive for emergency reformatting and installations (we've all been there before) or just peace of mind. Media Creation Tool is generated by Microsoft and has been considered as one of the most popular tools to download Windows system and create a bootable USB/DVD automatically. The free tool downloads and creates the installation media you need to install Window 8.1 right away, without having to first install Windows 8 and then update to Windows 8.1, a lengthy process. If you need to install or reinstall Windows 8.1, you can use the tools on this page to create your own installation media. It could come in handy if you ever want to reinstall Windows 8.1 or install it from scratch. When I visiting this Windows 8.1 ISO download site, it doesn't have a link to Media Creation Tool, instead, only directly download even in desktop.
Want to reinstall Windows 8.1 but don't have any installation media for it? Microsoft has released this new tool for you.
