I recently ordered a refurbished 2013 13" MacBook Air i7 1.7/8/512. I would like to use Windows 8.1 Pro as a secondary OS. I will not use bootcamp, but I would like to use Parallels 9 or Vmware Fusion 6. I would like to know were can I buy and download the official 64 bit Windows 8.1 Pro iso? I have an older to computer with Windows Vista installed. I would like to know if its possible to download the official 64 bit Windows 8.1 pro to it and create an ISO file and copy it directly to an 8GB flash drive?

Also which VM software is better: Fusion 6 or Parallels 9?

I prefer Fusion because its VMs are portable to and from Windows machines running VMware.
