Windows 8.1 Update Image Download: How to Use the Media Creation Tools on Microsoft's Website

Writer's picture: discroloconsonatusdiscroloconsonatus


For example, you may have problems when you try to install updates from Windows Update. In this situation, you can download the update package and try to install the update manually. To do this, follow these steps:




windows 8.1 update image download



Click Change how Windows Setup downloads updates, then select the Not right now option and click Next. Review the license terms and click Accept. At the Ready to install screen, confirm that the upgrade will install Windows 10 and keep your personal files and apps. Click Install and allow the upgrade to proceed.


I used windows 8.1 to create an image in three places. 1: second hard drive in computer. 2: External USB drive. 3: Network computer drive. When I tried to restore from windows installation disk under system restore no images were listed and no way to browse for them so creating the image was useless unless someone has figured a way to find the image.


I am confused on why windows 8.1 crashed on my hp computer, and how to reliably backup the system image, and do not understand how to recover windows 8.1 Pro, without giving in and just reinstalling everything from scratch.


Windows 8.1 saves a downloaded image file to the Downloads folder, where you can view the image thumbnail, or open this file with the Windows Photo Gallery or another app. For example, if you downloaded a photo file attachment from your Outlook.com inbox, and saved the file without specifying the save location, this file automatically saves to the Downloads folder. Windows 8.1 includes a directory to help you navigate to your file and access this picture.


Click "File Explorer" on the taskbar -- the icon showing three file folders on a blue stand -- to open This PC window. Click the "Downloads" icon in the Folders section on the main pane, or click "Downloads" in the Favorites section of the directory in the left pane, to open the Downloads folder and view the file list. Click the "View" tab on the ribbon and click "Large Icons" or "Extra Large Icons" in the Layout group to view the thumbnail images. Scroll down the Downloads pane to navigate to your downloaded file. As an alternative, type the file name or keywords in the "Search Downloads" field under the ribbon to bring up the search results.


There are two ways to get Windows 8 free version. One way is to download Windows ISO from an existing ISO image. The other way is to get Windows 8 ISO free with EaseUS Windows downloader. Check the methods below to get more details.


We hope you have learned everything you needed to know about how to download Windows 8 ISO file. You can download the file from multiple sources on the web. However, while installing windows, you may sometimes lose your important data. Thus, we recommend using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted files. The software is highly efficient and easy to work with.

Microsoft releases new security updates for its products at least once a month. In most cases, the Windows Update service does an excellent job of downloading and installing Windows updates automatically. You can also manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for your Windows version (build). For example, on computers with the wususerv service disabled, on disconnected environments (if you are not using a WSUS server where you can manually test and approve Windows updates), on a local network with a metered connection, etc. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();


How can you decide which of these updates you need to download and install? Of course, you can download and install them all, but you can save time. Since Microsoft uses cumulative updates, you just need to download and install the latest Cumulative Security Update for your OS version.


To manually download MSU update files from the Microsoft Update Catalog, you can use the Save-KBFile cmdlet from the KBUpdate module (KB Viewer, Saver, Installer and Uninstaller)


After you have downloaded the MSU file with the latest security update for your Windows 10 version, you can install it. To do it, double-click the MSU file and follow the prompts of the Windows Update Standalone Installer.


Manually Update Windows Defender SignaturesIf you have built-in Windows Defender Antivirus enabled on your Windows device, you can manually update its signatures. An update with the new signature set can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog, or (easier) from this page -us/wdsi/defenderupdates#manual.


This tool allows an easy and comfortable way to download genuine Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 disk images (ISO) directly from Microsoft's servers, as well as Office 2013, Office 2016, Office 2019, and Office for Mac.


In the past, Microsoft provided disk images for many of their products through their subcontractor "Digital River". These downloads were pulled in early 2014. Afterwards, Microsoft made a limited selection of downloads available on their TechBench site. Our tool is based on TechBench, and makes a range of hidden products available for download.
