Windows 8 Upgrade

[phil_livesey]

Hi, I bought Windows 8 when it was £25 from Microsoft's website, however, i want to know if this was literally just for the product key, because i want to be able to get Windows 8 so i can burn it to a disc.

(I can understand this seems like i just want you to link me to where i can illegally download Windows 8, but i only have the product key, no disc or anything)

Everything was done online, i downloaded the upgrade assistant and it installed Windows 8 for me, so can i actually get a download for Windows 8 from Microsoft or not? Because if something happens and i need to re-install Windows 8, i don't want to have to install Windows 7, to then upgrade to Windows 8.

Look in your email; the message from MS should include a download link if you need to re-install.
