    Right ok, it will do a clean install from Windows 8 option setting:

    Reset your PC – Remove all personal data, apps, and settings from the PC, and reinstall Windows.
    Refresh your PC – Keep all personal data, Metro style apps, and important settings from the PC, and reinstall Windows.

    I did reset pc and it was clean install and was activated already (no problem) so upgrade is the cheaper to buy but if you want to install in other pc, you need to buy a full version OEM, not upgrade one (as you still have to install XP/Vista or windows 7 first before doing upgrade mean it take more time to get all these hassle).

    I like the new reset, refresh option on windows 8.

    Neither have I ...BUT that's not the point ... it's to expose their incompetence ..anyway how people can create such slick OS's and fall short so badly after deployment is mind boggling.. the devs must be totally red(mond)faced :eek:

    I successfully activated Windows8 Pro x64 with key NG4HW-..... and use kms win8kms4.mooo.com

    I have so many emails so I received a lot of Keys, this isn't problem.
    But my point is my Windows is activate to data April 2013.
    It will be re-activated after this date when I use now this key for WMC?
    Will it work or will I need after the expiration date completely reinstall Windows?

    I can or can not use the key that Microsoft sent me on my email to activate WMC???

    ps: small information for those who wait on key - me came every key after +- 2/3 hours after sending the request, be a little patient, will definitely come. i myself have about fifteen keys now :D

    @PepeCZ86 Just follow the instructions that came with your WMC email. Install the key "as per directions" using the metro desktop. I had a vl version and it installed with no problems.

    On the "Computer Properties", or simply execute this command line:

    Code:
    control system
    You'll see the label with "Get more features with a new Windows Edition" or similar. Just click and add your key.

    It will be activated online automatically. Is recommended shut down the Internet and activate using the Phone when is possible.
