I currently have windows 8.1 pro installed on my computer, but because it is a cloned copy, it is no longer activated. The other storage devices is in use in another computer so using it wouldn't be an option. My only choices now would be to buy a licence for windows 8 or you know...Can't stand that "Activated Windows now" B.S anymore.
Options
1) buy this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416779, Problem is that I don't know if the key will work in activating windows 8.1 pro or if it is only for an upgrade to windows 8.1 pro...which is what i have installed.
2)Use the re-installation disc that came with my laptop about 4 years ago and buy this, http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.264954100 , my windows 7 will have the build error but i know it works cause it is what i origally did when i got windows 8 pro for $15 bucks *now 70*. but even though it's cheaper I'm just too lazy....
Anyway, anyone know if the product upgrade key from newegg will work? It'll save me the hassle. Unless anyone has a windows 8.1 pro key they don't want.
