Well, you "could" but you have to buy another key.

Fixed! :)

You can use it to install 8.1 but if you activate it it will deactivate yours, especially if you have a Microsoft account tied to it.

Thanks. I always do this mistake and i correct it 80% of the times. I get so annoyed every single time i make this mistake. 

You think you've got a problem. I have a habit of missing one to three words in my posts which makes my posts look retarded. I usually have to go back and edit the post which is annoying, to say the least. :(
