Windows 8.1 Installation?

[MattP123]

    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.

Here is a text version, which is easier than a video to read http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap/comments/1oy8eh/meta_how_to_download_install_and_use_your/

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

Linus made a video(Might of been with NCIX) with windows 7, and the installation process is the same with both.

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

Some people just don't get it. I ask for a video... gives me an article.

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.
