Microsoft has removed Win 8.1 Media Creation Tool!

[JoelDroid]

Microsoft has recently removed the media creation tool for Windows 8.1 Pro.

Link

 

If you click the download tool, it gives a 404 error.

Why is Microsoft so desperate to shove the crap Windows 10 into user's throats?

 

Does anybody have the Media creation tool for Win 8.1?

Please help me out...

I don't see any problem to download Win 8.1 ISO from MS Official.

As the OP stated, the link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=510815 gives a 404 error ATTB.

Hence my link.

Just simple trick. Change Chrome to mobile mode by press F12 to open Developer Tool. Then, click on small mobile phone icon and refresh the link again.  Now you can download Windows 10 & 8.1 without media tool.
