Go to solution Solved by Thunderjolt,

im planning on buying a windows 8.1 pro product key from g2a.com

i downloaded a windows 8 iso and made a usb boot drive from it.

will i have trouble with the product key using a windows 8 original version with the win 8.1 product key?

thanks

jim

Very much so. You'd need a 8.1 ISO or buy a Win 8 key
