dear all, i don't know whether this trick is already found or not, but i found out this trick interesting. First: Get a Windows 8.1 ISO Second: Mount/Burn the disc, then run the setup.exe on your PC Third: When this screen comes up Enter the generic product key, then, after the generic key works, replace the field with your own key. EDIT: If you put your own product key before inputting the generic key, it will fail the key check. Fourth: Follow all the steps, and enjoy
