I have win 8 pro and serial but i can't install, because it doesn't let me enter my new serial so that pc has a embedded win 8 single language serial. (I has bought pc with win 8 single language.)
Hi there
????
You have a legit W8 Pro disk -- or you made one.
What happens when you get into the computers BIOS -- if is says protected Boot then you will have to DISABLE it before another OS will boot whether from an HDD , a USB device or a DVD.
There's NO LANGUAGE LOCK on BIOS'S -- at least I've never heard of one before. The BIOS itself might be non English -- but the options should still be the same.
Also are you trying to do an UPDATE or a NEW installation. -- If you have a legit W8 PRO system perform a brand NEW installation.
I'd steer clear of the "Add features to Windows" option by the online upgrade IF YOU HAVE W8 pro install media. That way you can "de-crapify" all the rubbish that gets installed with a pre-installed store bought computer.
So before spending money check out 1) The BIOS -- UEFI or not and whether secure boot is enabled
2) your W8 Pro -- is it legit -- AFAIK you can't actually get retail physical DVD copies of W8 in stores -- but I could be wrong here. You can certainly download from TechNet if you have a subscription but from a store -- not sure.
Can somebody else please clarify whether W8 pro is available on physical media or even as a downloadable iso from which you can burn a physical disk legally other than from TechNet / MSDN. (I've seen it "out in the wild" but do not use those places Ms has quite good ways of detecting those these days and it could cost you BIG TIME with a jail term a real possibilty).
