I honestly know nothing about mining coins.  I know it's very popular right now, but have no idea how to do it.

Well you could always... Wait that's not legal, well you could always... Wait that costs $500.

 

I know that at staples Windows 8.1 Pro was like $500 I couldn't believe it.

Just rarely see Windows operating systems on sale on Newegg or any websites like that for less than $90.

You can download Windows 8 directly from Microsoft, and burn it to a DVD or create a bootable USB Flash Drive. Then you just need to buy a Windows 8 Product Key.

 

When I built my system last year, I downloaded Windows 8 Professional from Microsoft and burnt it to a DVD, and I bought a Product Key from Ebay for $40. The guy that I bought it from, sent me the Product Key directly to my Email as soon as the payment cleared. It took about 30mins or less from the time I bought it, to the time he sent me the Product Key. And I had my windows 8 fully installed and fully activated.

 

And you know Ebay doesn't play with Scammers, so if you get scammed by someone, Ebay will refund you and Ebay will go after the person that scammed you.

 

But like I said, I didn't scammed, and I know a few people that bought keys from ebay, and they never got scammed either. And the Keys are 100% legit. If the key doesn't work, tell the person that sold it to you that it doesn't work, and they will give you another one.

 

I bought my Windows 8 Professional Product Key from Ebay for $40 on "Buy It Now". And you download the Windows 8 ISO from Microsoft for free. So you basically get Windows 8 for $40. 

 

Microsoft was trying to charge me $100 for just a Product Key for Windows 8 Professional, on their website. And at that time I just got done paying $3,000 in high end PC Parts, I didn't have $100 to spend, I was almost broke. Thats when I found Product Keys on Ebay for $40.

Wow...great advise.  Thank you.  This might actually work best as I already have a Windows 8 disc from a previous build.  Thanks again!!

If you are still a student, or know anyone who is you could ask them for one. They can go to http://www.dreamspark.com/ , log in using their school login and request a CD-key.

No problem, any time.

 

EDIT: Just make sure you buy the right Product Key. If you have Windows 8 Pro, then buy the Windows 8 Pro Product Key, if you have Windows 8 Standard Version, then thats the product key you buy. You know? Just so you don't buy a Product Key that is for a different version of windows 8 then you have. Because if you buy the wrong version Product Key, the Key won't work with your Windows 8.
