Solved Is Download From Digital River Safe & Legal??

[Parashar]

i want to know is download from digital river safe and legit... i heard some where that it could be unsafe as its not Microsoft site and could have malicious code in downloads

Hello Parashar,

Yes, Digital River has official Windows ISO file downloads since that is also a Microsoft site. Of course, you would need to already have a legitimate product key to use to activate with.

Didn't you determine that MDL wasn't a good site to use and changed to Heidoc?

 

[Parashar]

Nope. I said that we couldn't link to it since it would get a DMCA notice. It's still an official ISO file, and are the same ones that Heidoc below uses.

If you have a "retail" Windows 8 key, then you could download the ISO directly from Microsoft using an option in the tutorial below.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 ISO - Download or Create

If you have an "OEM" Windows 8 that came preinstalled with Windows 8, then you should have a recovery partition to use, or you could create a recovery drive with a copy of the recovery partition added. You can also contact the manufacturer of the computer to get a copy of your replacement media.
