Hey all, I remember purchasing windows 8 back when it released for rather cheap. I've never used it, but I don't know if the disc I have here is the correct one to install windows 8 from. (There is no product key, from what I can see.)

The package looks like this one: win8-upgrade_01.jpg

 

Basically I want to know is this what I'm supposed to install the OS on a new system from? It has the 32bit and 64bit CD's in there

(Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm just curious as to if I need to spend money on a new OS.)

yes, install the OS from the CD, but you will need a license key (most likely emailed to you) to activate windows
