Hopefully, you've downloaded the right windows installation DVD ( CORE, OEM, not VL ) - but somehow the configuration of the disk is wrong....
Within windows bootable USB open \sources\ei.cfg and change the content of this file so it will support installation of a CORE edition with OEM channel, NOT VL.
You can use this
source to generate the ei.cfg file with the details I provided or simply copy the following:
[Edition]
Core
[Channel]
OEM
[VL]

I hope you've put windows installation in a USB and did not burn it....cuz if not - you'll need to reburn it.
This, will install Windows 8/8.1 in a way that will be compatible with the genuine serial we got from asus.EDIT: OH.... dude - you don't have to download MS windows ISO from within windows update.... I personly hate it - cuz you'll never know what release of win 8.1 is that.
( there are about 5 releases for every type of the 5 different versions of windows, and about a 50 different based languages - so total of about 1250+ ISOs to download - NOT comforting )
The reason is simple - you'll want the latest, cuz then, you'l have to perform less windows update - which sums to a far more faster approach then to download some old release and then perform some 3GB+ of windows updates.
The best source that I know of, in which you can selectively download the latest ( win 8.1, x64, update 3, CORE ) is
FROM HERE - download the ESD file, run the decryption app with option 1 to generate an ISO disk - 1
:1 copy vs MSDN files .
enjoy.
