Hi there!
I have a legitimate Windows 8.0 OEM key. I want to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 (not installing 8.0 first and then updating).
I know that this is possible by using an 8.1 ISO and using a generic Windows key (provided by Microsoft), and activating the OS once installed by entering your own key then.
I have had a look at a few guides online but can't seem to find answers to the following questions:
1) How do I get a legitimate 8.1 ISO (not 8.0 to 8.1, but full install 8.1) in the first place?
2) How do I enter my key after the install?
If someone could answer these questions, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks!
