I have a copy of Windows 8 Enterprise from my University. I was wanting to install a bootcamp partition for gaming. What I have is a 64bit wim file, bat file and an exe file. That is the only download option. What is the proper way to get this to work? I have only used a disc or iso file in the past. I have a Windows 8 Pro disc from my Father to possibly use and just enter my product key I got in an email. Do the Windows 8 Retail disc still have all the different version that can be unlocked with the correct product key. How can I get this ball rolling? Thanks for the help.

Is this a normal file to get? I have never heard of wim before. Normally I can get discs for this, but for whatever reason I only have the chance for these three files.
