First off sorry if this is in the wrong section
I will most likely be buying an Dell Xps 12 as seen here: http://
The only problem is I need the Pro version of windows 8. I saw that to upgrade directly from microsoft its 99-199$? But I think I found a solution.
Through my school, I was able to download a full retail copy of windows 8.1 prox64. Although I've used the product key for my main machine (but switched back to 7) and I've used it for a virtual machine on my computer. So what I'm asking is can I use the product key to upgrade the laptop? I will delete the VM on my computer if I have to. That will save me $200 bucks which will really help me out.
I'm aware that I can't do this if it was an OEM version but it's not it's a full retail version so it shouldn't be a problem right?
