I used daemon tools lite for mounting the ISO under Win7, and did an upgrade to Win8.
Really REALLY cool thing about Win 8 is that it finally, out of the box, supports mounting ISOs. Doesn't help you upgrading from Win 7, but the future is bright. I can't believe its taken them this long to get something in the OS.
