Title: Activate Windows 8 with 8.1 Key ? Post by: PeterSt on November 08, 2013, 12:59:14 pm All,
I have a stupid little problem ... As people will have noticed that W8 native version can't be downloaded anymore, I just ran into the fact that at least over here we can't buy it anymore either. So, that is 8.1 now. I have copies of the native W8 version to install (like for the XXHighEnd PC) but of course I don't have the license keys with that. So now I wondered : will the license key that comes with an 8.1 version work with a native 8 version ? Obviously I have to go one way or the other with the native 8 version because the 8.1 won't work (as far as I saw the reporting of some of you). So, this is a bit of a strange situation. If nobody has the answer I guess I will find out soon enough myself, because I need to order new licenses anyway. But at least the topic about it is there already now ... :yes: Peter Title: Re: Activate Windows 8 with 8.1 Key ?

Alain EditL: Sorry Peter, I read the question too fast... I answered backwards... Title: Re: Activate Windows 8 with 8.1 Key ? Post by: PeterSt on November 08, 2013, 01:23:06 pm Haha, yes. Google gives me the reversed answers as well. But who wants to do this anyway ...
