Microsoft has made installation ISOs for the Windows 8.1 Preview available to download.
At the BUILD conference, Microsoft showed off some of the changes in Windows 8.1, responding to consumer feedback about the Windows 8 operating system launched last year.
Now you can download an ISO file and install it yourself.

If you are running Windows 8, simply double-click on the ISO file and run Setup.exe. If you are running an older version of Windows, you will need to either burn it to a DVD or create a bootable USB installation.
Important: Windows 8.1 Preview isn't currently supported on some tablets and PCs with newer 32-bit Atom processors.
