Windows installation

[Cynestal]

So does windows need to be installed like this : Buy a OEM key from kinguin.net and install it to a usb, then put it in your new pc and go to bios and click on usb key and then it should install it from the wifi? But i read that u need a tool, but it only supports windows 8.1 https://gyazo.com/df42c30064114716475b4d1af30225ea

You create a Windows boot USB from the tool you can download from microsoft, then you boot from the USB from your BIOS.

When you are done with that you can activate windows in your PC settings/System.

 

Example for activation:

 

So i can get windows for free but to get the most from windows i use a oem key right? But is the oem key a product key???

They call it OEM keys on Kinguin.

 

 

So i can use the oem key as a product key?

Yes but after 3 times of major changing hardware you need to call or contact Microsoft to ask them to allow you to use the key.

OEM keys aren't meant to have major hardware changes. If you change your motherboard a few times then you will have to ask Microsoft to allow you to use the key (if it doesn't play nicely). They will almost always say yes.

 

Retail Keys are meant to be used on any system. If you upgrade your motherboard then it is no big deal. Windows will continue to be happy and work fine.
