I had not heard of MS giving out ISO images. Would have been nice to
know. From my reading of various forums and such I needed to purchase a
full Windows 8.1 installer to make a virtual machine and that meant
buying what they call a System Builder OEM disk. I ended up purchasing
an actual DVD of Windows 8.1 for $97 from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3ZN2W0/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and then made my own ISO from that using terminal and dd:
dd if=/dev/disk2 of=~/myCD.iso bs=2048 conv=sync,notrunc
Then I could use the myCD.iso to install Windows 8.1. The CD came with a
printed activation code.

Hi,
I assume you get the .iso from microsoft as they appear to be free downloads.
Do you need some sort of authorization key to activate it? If so, where can I
locate it. I still have a pc running windows 7.
Thanks,
Don

Hey Kaitlyn. When I installed Windows 7 onto my Mac, I just told Fusion
to use the Iso file that was located in my downloads folder. So the
answer to your question is no, you don't have to burn it onto a DVD.
