I had a problem while downloading. The installation file I downloaded corrupt when realmete its size should be something more than 5 megabytes (5.18 MB) (5,442,160 bytes). I used Internet Download Manager to get a successful download.
Y pay even the 'modest price' when WMC keys are free? Aaahhh..I get it... "Its the right thing to do.." No pirates here right?
I do not understand. I pay € 14.99 is not too bad. This will help in the future are encouraged to offer more similar deals. We know that free is better, but I think that is the way to go. Having conscience for such a low price, it is very, very cheap. Everyone, do what you consider.
Is it really necessary to purchase new computer first to be eligible for the 15$ upgrade to Windows 8?
Few minutes ago, I finished upgrade-procedure by Win8-Upgrade-Assistent and at the moment Win8-ISO is donwnloading (by M$-Assistent). But I haven't get any option to choose dir so now I don't know, where Windows is saving the file Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
Yeah but think you need a genuine activated Pro install to use it first, pretty sure those keys won't allow you to install Windows 8, they are just to upgrade Pro to Pro with WMC.
Ok so ive just bought windows 8 pro from the upgrade assistand thing, am I right to think that I dont download from the windows thing and download the .iso off one of the threads if so can someone help me out, im on 64bit os thanks
Just download the Windows 8 ISO with the Upgrade program if you don't already have it, should be faster & a lot easier than getting it another way as I think most of the ones up on here are by torrent.
I wanted to point out that it was NOT possible for me to do a clean install and activate with the Windows 8 Upgrade key. I was running Windows 7, bought the upgrade key through the Windows 8 Upgrade assistant, picked the "create bootable media" option and downloaded the Win8 ISO. I then used the Windows 7 USB tool to create a bootable USB. After that, I erased my entire SSD using secure erase... so nothing was left on it. Installed Windows 8 from USB and it accepted my key during installation. However, once I logged into Windows 8 after install, it was not activated. Tried again to activate via control panel and an error code came up along with the message ~ "Cannot use this version of Windows for a clean install". So I just reinstalled Win7 and installed 8 within Win7, and now I'm running an activated Win8 Pro just fine. Cliffs: Cannot use Win8 upgrade key for a clean install
Can you use the same windows 7 product key for validation and get multiple windows 8 discount codes for $14.99 Or is there anyway to validate without having a coa with windows 7. Can you use any keys on the internet, even if the don't activate, just to validate through this form ?
I'll pass as I'm set up with Win8 and good to go. Hopefully someone else can let us know if an upgrade key will activate a clean install of Win8 using a different iso
