    no, it won't let you install.
    but you can use C9WKB key to install and use your dreamspark key to activate online or phone.

    as u can see there is no KMS activator for Windows 8.1 yet. That tool is created around July for 8.1 preview activation which still using KMS v5. so bear it in mind.. NO KMS for v6 for now..

    He's making a joke about Aramaic because it's an old dead language.

    Wait some time for making activator based on KMS v6 which can activate Windows 8.1.

    When a build is signed-off as RTM, it is the official RTM, i.e. MS has decided the build is good enough to go into production and for OEM's to put it into their machines.

    There were always arguments that the RTM is not final product, but this is meaningless, no OS is perfect, all Windows RTM's constantly receive hotfixes, if the build was perfect, there wouldn't be windows updates or service packs. :D

    Yup, exactly what I mean, RTM is RTM, it gets updates, hotfixes,service packs, happens all along, no difference for win8.1.:D

    I don't know if this has already been said but I can't see thumbnail previews on the taskbar. Is this a removed feature in 8.1? My Windows is activated btw o_O

    Just curious if anyone has seen any mentions of a watermark remover, similar to the Windows Patcher that was released for Windows 8 RTM? Something that could remove the "Activate Windows" watermark as well as the desktop build info would make Enterprise less of a pain to run until there is a solution for KMS activation. Just curious!

    hi, theres two things I need help with on Windows 8.1 Pro rtm. Firstly, when the white circle is spinning round under the windows logo during bootup, my computer will switch itself off without even getting to the password entry screen. I had this exactly the same problem with windows 8.1 preview which I find very odd. Secondly, i upgraded from windows 8 pro to windows 8.1 pro rtm (windows 8 pro was activated with a genuine key), but now windows 8.1 rtm is asking for activation. I tried the slmgr.vbs -ipk method in the command prompt using my windows 8 pro genuine key but it wont activate. Instead it says that im using a non core version. Is there any way at all to stop my windows 8.1 from shutting down as soon as it gets to the booting screen and is there anyway to activate it using my genuine windows 8 pro key?
