Windows 8.1 Checksum



I've looked all over for the sha-1 or sha-256 checksum for the windows 8.1 iso that you get with the Microsoft’s “Upgrade Windows with only a product key” page but none of the check sums provided on MSDN website matches the one that I were able to get with the download tool. And I've already tried twice and still I get the incorrect hash when compared to the ones provided.



I would either like the correct checksum page from microsoft or other location to obtain the iso of windows 8.1


Answer



The upgrade iso and the MSDN subscriber ISO are two different beasts. As Andre has mentioned, the upgrade download is unique to each individual and the hashes will never match.




If you must have an MSDN hash matching ISO, you'll need to get an MSDN matching subscription or resort to other less than legal means. FYI, this is not the website where you will find links to that sort of thing.



My advice, just install the ISO you have, it should be fine.
