Clean install windows 8

[Senor Potato]

So I just bought an ssd, and did a clean install onto it, but when it asked for a product key, it said mine was an upgrade one only. I really don't wanna have to go install windows 7 and then reinstall windows 8 again, and then reinstall windows 8.1, so is there a workaround to my problem?

Download 8.1 iso. Install it with a generic key which is
 

 

 

• Windows 8.0 → Use the generic Windows 8.1 Core/Home product key 334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT. After installation use the BIOS Embedded SLP Key with “Change Key” as described here.
• Windows 8.1 → Use your Windows 8.1 Core/Home product key. The system will automatically activate when connected to the internet after installation.
• Windows 8.0 Professional → Use the generic Windows 8.1 Professional product key XHQ8N-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB. After installation use the BIOS Embedded SLP Key with “Change Key” as described here.

and then change it. Sourcerino:
