    thank you steven4554 sir, please can u suggest me which version would be better volume or retail key so that no problems happen to activate windows 8 and download further windows updates.
    volume or retail :confused:
    So after u suggest which key to use i would use the pro version key other than core since pro is better than core right and then from volume or retail as u all suggest which is better
    and the key is in the step 4 of 4 of the official windows 8 repository post RIGHT?. only one common key for everyone 1 to install windows 8. Will it not be blacklisted since it might be used by so many ppls to install their windows 8
    :rolleyes::tea:

    Hi, these keys simply allow you to install W8. It doesn't activate Windows 8.

    @steven4554 said this
    Plus, if you enter a retail key obviously Win8 will be installed using the RETAIL channel, and if you enter a VL key the same will happen, it will install using the KMS_CLIENT channel.
    So which 1 would be better and easy to activate please tell me that u all r saying kms kms so is the volume 1 better and easy to activate :rolleyes:

    If you want to do KMS activation only, use the VL key. If you want to do the trick with the WMC, you need to install the retail first and then change into VL, activate and then you can run the free key from Ms to get it finally legit. Where is your problem?

    kms is not legal right its a activation server type of something and might not be legit but activation through windows media center key would be legal and would get us all Microsoft future updates and activated forever and i've read that kms activation is only of 180 days or 365 dayss etc etc daysss.. So windows media center is forever right. Please reply if i'm right or wrong @ what i said

    You have to activate (KMS) first before continuing with WMC-Key. With this WMC-Trick we were a step ahead..:D. Just look at second Link in my signature :cool:.

    Why you think KMS is not legal? The entire industry would use illegal PC if it were illegal. The beauty of first activating via KMS and then using the WMC key gets you legal as well and the benfit is that you do not have to reactivate every 180 days as usual on ALL KMS machines

    When I was born, I woke up suddenly and knew everything about PCs. I did not read manuals or online tutorials etc. It just was in my brain from the beginning ...
    Just kidding: Read, read read and learn. That's the way to go my friend

    open command prompt and type "slmgr -xpr" without quotes, it should show permanent activation if WMC was installed and the free key entered correctly.

    I just had to read this whole thread.

    I love happy endings LOL!
