Microsoft released the Media Creation Tool, an easy way to obtain official Windows 8.1 ISOs.

Sadly, WinReducer says the ISO obtained with this tool is not supported. Sad

Any plans to change this in a future update?

Thanks. Smile

Hello,

I've tried this solution, and yes WinReducer 8.1 do not support ESD format (for the moment), but you could easily convert this ESD file to a WIM using "WinReducer Wim Converter" available in the WinReducer Official website.

Just extract your downloaded ISO in a folder using 7-zip (for example) then use WinReducer Wim Converter to convert it to a Wim file which is supported by WinReducer 8.1 ...

Have a good day !

Thank you for your interest.

Turns out my key is for "Windows 8.1 Single Language", and the ISO I grabbed with the MCT was for "Windows 8.1 (period)".

I tried then to download W8.1 SL with the Tool, but it was too slow.

Long story short, I ended up getting the ISO from another source. :p
