Guys, does anyone know if the installation key for Win 8 Pro will work with this one as well? Thanks.
Someone said it doesn't, you got to upgrade to 8.1 then try to update it(when it is released or have to do a phone activation).
valid keys always are welcome in MS's database. During install, a gerenic one is ok but later on, they'd like you to show something valuable
I just want to be sure, and for anyone coming here after me - but I can use the same generic key I did for installing 8.1, correct? Or, is there a new generic key for 8.1 Update? Afterwards I will use my legit retail 8.0 key to activate.
no other keys are available since quite a while and the generic ones still are good for install. You need to use the proper one for either core or pro but I'm sure you know
Confirmed. I just tried it in a VM and it accepts old 8.1 generic VL Pro key. So the point is, you don't need that special VL iso, just download this multiple edition iso, enter Pro VL key, and voila..
