I have Windows 8.1 installed on my computer and I have a CD-Key. If I choose to reinstall, will I need Windows 8.1 on my USB or just Windows 8? I currently have Windows 8 (not 8.1) installed on a USB and I was wondering if that would work.

I also had Windows 8, then upgraded to 8.1. I think you will be able to install 8 and then go to store and there will be a option to upgrade to 8.1. However, then you will have to download the +- 3GB file, so if that's a problem you rather want to install 8.1 strait away

So a Windows 8.1 key will work on a fresh install of just Windows 8? I don't remember ever upgrading to Windows 8.1 from the store.
