GUIDE: How to backup and restore Windows 8 activation

I am using HP Laptop that was shipped with Windows 8 64 Bit (OEM). If I backup the STORE Folder and download and install Windows 8 64 Bit (Retail), those are available online then after restoring the STORE Folder will I get Windows 8 activated ?

 

Clonezilla is another backup option that is free, powerful, and open source.

Phone Activation via Skype is the best and permanent genuine solution at the moment.

 

so how do we do a full backup of win8.1 ? thanks

 

Acronis True Image (paid) or AOMEI Backup (free) and several others are needed. Windows holds his own tool for this, but the backup will be huge, due to lower compression.

 

I have a question.

If I use Acronis anｄ make a full backup of my windows 8.1 enterprise built 9600.

and If I restore my back up my windows 8.1 still active and genius right ?

sorry,for my bad english

 

if you have activated with MAK then logikal will be still activated
if is activated KMS 180 days then NO (time is running)

 

@LostED Thanks for the answer.

I mean, I already active my windows 8.1 via Skype

and if I format my PC and use full backup form Acronis my windows will still genius right ?

 

yes (logical)

 

I have 1 more question

If I install windows 8.1 in VM and I can make it genius by active via Skype

And if I make full backup of that windows with Acronis .

Can I use that backup in another windows ?

and if I can will it still active and geniuse ?


Btw, Thanks in advance

 

no

activation restore only on same machine (not match hardware changed)

 

You cannot install an Acronis Backup from a VM on a physical machine .

 

Perfect no problems good thanks.

 

Thanks for the great guide.

 

No time to read thru 59 pages... Will this work if you install a new and different hard drive?

 

yepz..
tested on my lappy. it will work when only harddrive changed

 

can i backup windows 8.1 pro activated over internet

 

Exactly this what I have thought to ask! Can I backup everything on the cloud? Like using ONEDRIVE?

 

this is not what i meant in my question, i meant can i backup windows activated OVER internet and not over phone

 

@Doktor-X and sriibalaji26 yes you can, also Windows 9 Product Key Viewer is cloud ready (onedrive only) as of version 1.5.0
With onedrive backup set to auto simply dump pkeyuibx.exe in your onedrive folder and backup actvation.
easy huh dump and pump.

 

From what I know there's still no way to restore activation that was done online. I didn't hear anything other since then.
