    I am building a new pc as you can see in my signature. A physical copy of Windows is $90, but on G2A it is $18. You can do a lot more with that extra $72. So, if any of you have a VIDEO on how to install Windows 8.1 from a usb flash drive, it would be greatly appreciated. 

 

    Thanks.

What if we have visual people, people who learn better from pics?

On G2A it says "Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional 32/64 Bit CD-KEY GLOBAL" what confuses me is the "CD-KEY" does that mean I redeem the code somewhere? And you want 64 Bit, correct?

You redeem it in windows itself, after you have installed it all. and yes 64 bit

Because you bought a CD key, you will need to download windows 8.1. I'm sure there is some download link Microsoft Windows website.
