I only have a Windows 8 Single Language key purchased. They mostly sell that version in my country. But I need to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1. How can I do this? How to get the ISO? I can't install 8.1 PRO ISO with a generic key and they use the SL key to activate right?

There is no legal way to get such an ISO. Reinstall your Windows 8.0, install all updates, open the store and install Windows 8.1. Now install the large 8.1 Update from Windows Update and after you did this, capture your own recovery WIM with recimg:

recimg -CreateImage C:\RefreshImage

so that you can refresh the PC the next time you run into issues.
