Slipstream win 8.1 update in win 8 set up

Is it possible? I have a win 8 dvd and a genuine win 8 key. The win 8.1 update size is about 3.63gb. I don't want to download this size update every time I format my pc. I thought of downloading the iso of win 8.1, but microsoft clearly states that win 8 key can't be used to install win 8.1 from it's iso. Is there any way around this?

Yes there is. Check the Windows 8 Thread.

Thanks

Ok. The double setup trick seems to be working fine. But still, is there any way I can slipstream win 8.1 from a computer that is running 8.1?? I hate to say it but I'm running low on data on my mblaze. Downloading a 2.5 gb iso is a big deal for me right now.I don't have broadband.
