Too hard. There is a problem with my msnd subscription and microsoft seem impossible to contact and their web site seems to have a lot of links to pages that can not be displayed.
1. Download the Windows 8 ISO.
Following these instructions to do it legally.
2. Goto http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
3. Click
Download the Windows 7 USB DVD Tool
http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe
This free program from Microsoft properly formats your flash drive and then copies the contents of the Windows 8 installation ISO file you have to that flash drive.
Note: Don't worry that this program has Windows 7 in the title. This program works perfectly well with Windows 8 ISO files and can be installed in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP.

I cant get the drivers to down load inside the mac side.
The drivers (I believe) come from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
The downloaded file is called
BootCamp5.0.5033.zip
And I think I already have this.
The DisplayPort works in the mac os.
And now blow me over. It has started to work under Win8.
Frustrating %$!#^@%E

VIDEO DRIVER ISSUE
Every now and then my external display stops working. I rollback the driver and it starts to work. Then I guess automatic updates catch up and install a new driver. It does not work and the cycle repeats. But why.....This driver works:

What a frustrating waste of time. Now how to force it to never auto update.
23-08-2013 Roll back ..... again.
I can not find a way to stop windows 8 from auto updating just one driver for a particular device.
There are ways to stop windows update from updating any or all drivers but that is not what I need.
26-8-2013 Update
-------------------
It would appear that I can stop updates of drivers in general while still maintaining other auto updates.

Hi========================================================
You cannot disable automatic updating for a specific device.
However, you can take control and disable automatic updating for all hardware devices, which is the best option.
Press WinKey+X to display the system menu and click Control Panel.
Select Devices and Printers.
In the top section, right click the icon with the name of the computer and select Device Installation Settings.
In the Settings window, select No, let me choose what to do and Never install driver software from Windows Update.
Click the Save Changes button.
This will prevent any hardware drivers from being installed by Windows Update. You will still receive all other Windows Updates as usual.
If a hardware item needs updating in the future, you can simply go the hardware manufacturers website and download/install the latest driver or reverse these options and get the driver from Windows Update.
