Does anyone know where I can download the Windows 8.0 Upgrade Assistant? (Accidental X-Post from Windows 7)

[feriner]

I have an upgrade key for Windows *, NOT Windows 8.1, but it appears Microsoft has made it impossible to obtain the upgrader for 8.0. My key does not work with the 8.1 upgrader, and I have had the same problem back when I could find the downlader. Any help?

Let's back up a bit.

What OS do you have?
What did you 'purchase'?
From where did you purchase this?
What are you looking for the end state to be?

I have 7, I purchased the official Windows 8 Upgrade deal from Microsoft for 40 dollars when 8 first came out, and I want to use it now. In the past going from Windows 7 to Windows 8, I had to find the Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) upgrade assistant to use my key. However, I can only seem to find the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant now, which doesn't work with my key.

You've probably waited too long. MS gave up on 8 vs 8.1 long ago.
