I was thinking, how do you use and install Windows (preferably Windows 8) from G2A? I am going to get a brand new SSD and I want to install Windows 8 on it, so do I use a flash drive and install Windows on it, then use a CD Key when downloading it on the new SSD? I have no idea plz help :P

They just give you your license key so just write it down and install windows normally.

You don't. It's dodgy from there but you just get a key, you download the os from MS and then use your key from them.

 

Use https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap It's far more reliable.
