Hi guys,

I have a full copy of Win 8 Pro, but will not get my key until Friday (official launch day).:D

Unfortunately I am away for the weekend so if I wait for my key to install Win 8 it will have to be next week.:confused:

However, is it possible to install Win 8 a day before I get my key? Can it be installed without a key, and can I add the key a day later?

Thanks in advance,
Paul.

Nothing is impossible. I don't feel disposed to broadcast it.

I suggest you just wait a day to get your key, then do it the usual way and input your key when it asks .

That will give you a day more freedom.

I was just hoping to get it installed and to have a 'play' with it before I went away!
