    Wondering if those are available like with Windows 7. I know the 7 links had been posted here before.

    Would it be legal to share my Win8 Pro .iso file?

    It should, yes. As long as it isn't cracked.

    Still, I don't think uploading to Skydrive would be very smart :D.
    If it's totally OK to share my .iso I'm happy to do so. Just want to wait what mods have to say about this.
    And oh, where should I upload it? .iso is 3,3Gb, 64bit version.

    Or even better would be that installer. I have a Windows key but no way to install the damn thing.

    Not sure about where to upload - maybe putlocker?

    The Official Windows 8 Repository

    There are legal links there. I just don't have DVDs, I was hoping to get the installer but it hasn't been uploaded yet.

    edit: I'll just use one of those links, thanks.

    You mean you don't have a DVD to burn a Windows 8 .iso on? There's a Windows to USB/DVD utility (it's on that page), so you should have no problems.
