My Samsung laptop came with Win7 and I upgraded to 8.1. I was asked for my product code and the old one I had recorded did not work. I used ProduKey, and Neosmart WinOEMProdKey Tool, but they both brought up the same one! Googling around, the only ways to find the Win8.1 code suggested digging in the registry, fiddling with BIOS, or creating a bootable CD, which I am definitely NOT prepared to risk! Any suggestions? Thanx
You can not use the same windows 7 product code/key in Windows 8/8.1. Or you upgrade to Windows 10, or you keep your windows 7 copy. What you can do is the Windows 8.1 activation with some KMS tool. Spoiler Code: forums.mydigitallife.net/forums/51-KMS-tools
Look at the link in the spoiler that I left in my post. Click the "show" button to see the link (copy it and paste in the search bar of your browser) and go to the KMS tool that interests you in the sub-forum.
