Hello,
Few days ago my laptop had to be formatted and therefore the windows was re installed. I didn't do it my self so i have windows 8.1 Pro instead of Core and want to downgrade since i don't have a product key for Pro version. Is there any other way to downgrade other than clean install? and if I downgrade to windows 8.1 Core will it be activated or do i have to do it manually? I heard windows 8 activation key is tied to motherboard.
