    Afaik that Watermark appears when system is installed in UEFI mode with secure boot disabled. Not shure what you mean regarding graphics card.

    Think ill just reformat and install 8.1 Fresh without the WMC key, and use my Legit Pro key!

    WMC seems a little confusing at the moment and tbh, i dont even use wmc!

    I would say: YES, as soon as an SL RTM and/or OEM is available.

    I had 3 times installed today on my Laptop, now it's working fine.

    • First were that I was get activated and after installing the WMC while the MS Messages was telling it's Ok as well as my WMC Key, I got deactivated. And something else were happen because the screen was freezing in some parts and the updates (3 of them) were hanging at every start!!
    • Second, activated using the same key as first, I was getting problems with Updates again and find it's the Graphic Driver update for the nVidia which forced the crashing's.
    • Third installed and activated with same key again just fine. Downloaded the Graphic Driver from Guru3D.com and now all work well and will hopefully further on!
    No more WMC for the time being, and in reality, I even don't need that!

    You will only be able to activate Windows 8.1 Single Language edition, this hasn't leaked yet...

    There are several Core Editions, the standard one is Win 8.1 (the Core version, index:2) on the Retail ISO.

    Then there are versions for that so called emerging markets:

    CoreSingleLanguage (that should be yours)
    CoreCountrySpecific

    No, there's 1 iso for Enterprise, 1 iso for Single Language and 1 iso that contains both Core and Pro, only the last one has 2 version that can be determined by the key.
    You need a separate Single language ISO that hasn't been leaked yet and it wasn't on the list of ISOs WZOR was going to leak iirc :sorry:

    Core edition - This is simple Home Premium version, which changed name in Core. For Home using.

    Pro edition - Edition for businesses and other. Same as Ultimate version of Windows Vista/7.
