Yet another Windows thread.

Hi.

 

I'm not sure if this is a good deal but I hope so. 

 

https://www.g2a.com/microsoft-windows-8-professional-32-64-bit-cd-key-global.html

 

Now is this Windows copy the Professional or the Pro version? It's says Professional in the title but Pro in the Picture.

 

Also, this one is even cheaper than the Windows 8.1.

 

Sorry if I am dumb.

Pro is short for Professional.

But isn't there also the Pro version of Windows? Kinda like Ultimate?

 

What would that be called then? Windows P?

They buy it in countries where it is cheaper then sell it at a profit

That doesn't really solve things.

Yeah its legit,

 

Windows 8 PRO (32 or 64bit the key can be used on)

 

Just make sure after you get it running to run windows updates to get the latest and then go into the windows store to download the 8.1 update.

what you mean, i thought you were asking how it is so cheap?

Oh sorry.

 

I'm still not sure if this is Windows 8 Pro so that is what I meant.

 

Also, this one is cheaper than the Professional that is sold in G2A.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit all the way. all the intermediary versions have less features, even if I don't use them all, they're good to have.

In which country is it that cheap?

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Countries which aren't developed get the software cheaper.

Windows 8 Pro is the same as professional.

Now seriously stop asking so many questions. Bloody hell you sound like my mom.

According to this it isn't.

That link doesn't prove your statement.

All it does is compare standard vs. Pro.

 

Pro = short for professional, simple as that.

 

That having been said, Windows 8 only comes in 4 editions:

Windows 8, windows 8 pro, windows 8 enterprise, windows 8 RT

 

Windows 8 Pro is for professional use. Hence why the terms are used interchangeably.

 

Earlier editions used to have the full word "professional" in the title e.g. Windows 7 Professional.

They changed that to the shorter "pro" in Windows 8, but there are no differences.

There are also NO two "pro" AND "professional" versions in one generation of Windows.

XP Pro = XP Professional

Vista pro = Vista professional

7 pro = 7 professional

anything pro = anything professional

 

etc you get it

Ah, I'm dumb.

 

I always thought that it would be like how Windows 7 goes with Professional and Ultimate.

 

Sorry a lot.
