Download ISO with prouct key

I am in Catch 22

I have client's laptop with trashed hard drive. I was able to retrieve the Win 8.1 Product key.Hard drive will not boot!

Goal is to do fresh install of Win 8.1 on new Samsung EVO SSD.

How do I get the MS Win 8.1 ISO?

I have another client's Full version 64bit media DVD but somehow that will not accept the laptop product key. Pretty fussy license key IMO.

Any ideas?

You can create Windows 8.1 media from another running Win 8.1 PC.  Instructions are here:

Curious, does the recovered product key have "OEM" in it?
