My PC is arriving this monday without an operating system pre-installed. Im just thinking about downloading the Windows 8.1 Enterprise trial and put it on a usb (I'll make my USB windows 8.1 bootable), will it still ask for a product key or will this be no problem?
 
When you download the trial, it will ask for an email address. Your trial key will be sent there. Keep in mind that the trial only works for a limited time, and you cannot purchase a key separately and enter it later to continue working. The system must be wiped out completely (you can back up your data of course) and a fresh copy with your purchased license must be set up.
