    Hi guys! Maybe this is a very stupid question but after reading many posts here, it is still unclear to me:

    What happens if my upgraded (I paid $15 for the upgrade) laptop suddenly fails to boot or W8 gets ruined? :confused:


    1. Will my W8 key work for a clean installation?

    2. Should I install W7 first and then upgrade to W8 to use the key?

    3. Where to download a complete image of W8 Pro?


    Thank you very much in advance for your help :)

    You must ship broken parts of your PC to Redmond to prove that you're legit :D
