I changed the OS on my Laptop from win 8 x64 to win 8 pro x64. Is there any way to change it back to its OEM OS? I know the product key but every time i try the official microsoft ISO thing it keeps saying that it cant download it because the key im using is OEM. Help?

Thanks in advance

why are you changing back?

you might have to buy a second copy if you want to go back, because the particular OEM license may only cover a single install.
