With your hint, I just discovered I was trying to install Single Language Version, that's why other keys were not working... Thanks!
abbodi1406, I used your ESD and converted with your app. Just renamed the file, but the source was a ESD. But now, I just discovered I was trying to install Single Language Version, that's why other keys were not working... Thanks!
ERROR: Cannot open input ESD image. ESD file is not right maybe it's blocked for writing? try to run this command in the same directory: Code: Powershell -Command "& {dir | Unblock-File}"
I was kind of hoping that they will refresh/update the Store ESDs this month like they did before with RTM (updated twice), specially after August rollup but i just check and still the same
Hey Guys I'm in India and bought a HP laptop which came with Windows 8 Single Language. However i want to install a fresh copy of windows 8.1. I have my oem key embedded in the BIOS. I'm from India so should my Language be English(US)? Should I download 9600.17050.winblue_refresh.140317-1640_x64fre_client_coresinglelanguage_en-us-ir3_csla_x64frer_en-us_esd.esd file? Is it just and update file? or installs the whole windows 8.1 from scratch? also will it pick up my OEM key automatically? Please help. I'm stuck with this.
are you sure its English GB? I always thought its the US. anyway to check it? And also do i need any tool to burn the extracted files frm the esd? and how exactly am I to do an bootable iso file ??
Thank you! I'm downloading 9600.17050.winblue_refresh.140317-1640_x64fre_client_coresinglelanguage_en-us-ir3_csla_x64frer_en-us_esd.esd currently! next how do I make the iso to burn it to a dvd?
put the esd and the script in the same directory and run this command in admin cmd prompt from that directory: Code: decrypt 9600.17050.winblue_refresh.140317-1640_x64fre_client_coresinglelanguage_en-us-ir3_csla_x64frer_en-us_esd.esd
okay and I google'd a bit for a generic key for my single language iso. i found this- -9D6TC. will this work during install? and after installation I will need to delete the generic key and activate with my oem key which i extract from the BIOS right? sorry just trying to keep all notes before plunging in with the install.
