Download and Activate Windows 8.1 with nice trick
Windows 8.1 was recently signed off to RTM by Microsoft. Since last year there has been news that Microsoft has taken a decision to release a new OS every year.

Windows Blue or now popularly known as Windows 8.1 is an enhancement release supposed to be installed over Windows 8. This post is not going to go into the details of what the great bug fixes and enhancements are, but rather I am going to list down a few download links and a very great way to activate your Windows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 are released with a new KMS v6 which has a very strong encryption and the l33t HaxOrs still have not been able to crack it open. Unlike Windows 8, which has KMS v5 activation, which we have previously used to activate it for 180 days and then rearm it for next 180 days, Windows 8.1 having KMS v6 is not an option for us.
Thus, there has been news about different different method of activating, you might already known, which is the “phone activation” method. Do not worry, its really simple and we will go through the steps together in this post.
Firstly, download your Windows 8.1 ISO from here:
Windows 8.1 x86 EN-US

Windows 8.1 x64 EN-US
Follow the steps correctly and you will be fine.
NOTE: This method is assuming that you have already installed Windows 8.1.
