Help Installing Windows

[monjanger]

Hi all, I plan on building a PC soon. I am using windows 8.1 from g2a. https://www.g2a.com/windows-8-professional-32-64-bit-cd-key-global.html That only comes with the key. How do I boot it in the first place to where I put the key?

You just need a 4GB USB stick http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap/comments/1oy8eh/meta_how_to_download_install_and_use_your/ you activate it in windows 8.1 itself and no it doesn't come with the CD

No, as stated before you will need to burn the downloaded ISO to a DVD or USB drive.
