Microsft logic.....

[Heavyhero93]

ok heres one for you!
all you tech guys, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLES!!!!! YES CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
I just spoke to a microsoft rep.... he couldnt help me..... but here is the logic why he cant help me....
I have a VERIFIED OEM windows 8 cd key....
windows 8.1 was a FREEEEEE upgrade....
still with me?
My computer is currently a windows 8.1 computer with no product key (how that happened, even the rep didnt know)
In order to be able to use my windows 8 product key, i have to factory reset my computer, for the 4th time.....
I asked the rep, since my windows 8 key is a verified key, and 8.1 was a FREE upgrade, why cant they just give me an 8.1 cd key..... they said no....WTF??????? how does this make sence!??????

 

Any microsoft reps out there able to help?

they can't do that. but yea its dumb. for obs reasons

now you have 2 copies of windows. not gonna happen.

Because they're not gonna give you a free key to a ~90$ piece of software?

You should be able to find your key, in control panel i think, someone postedit earlier, page 11 i thibk from the big windows 10 topic.

i have my windows 8 cd key, a Verified OEM windows 8 cd key....

8.1 was a free upgrade, rathan than make the customer need to completely restart their computer just to give me a cd key anyway, why dont they just give me the cd key now.....yeah its 90$ but they are going to give me a free key anyway, just help the customer, and just give me the key now, rather than need to restart my computer, and be loose everything i just got done putting back on my computer.... like fuck microsoft....

 

also blackadder, i somehow do not have an 8.1 cd key, even tho i have windows 8.1 on my computer.... tech support was doing the remove device thing, and found i have no cd key for 8.1, but still somehow have 8.1 upgrade
