Hello!
My female friend is building a new computer and trying to save every pound possible.
We got to the point where everything is ordered and we just need the OS.
So we found this : Windows 8.1 Pro Student - Microsoft Store United Kingdom Online Store
I was very excited to save about 40 pounds on the OS. Except for this:
I asked people and someone told me about the double install trick, which led me to your forum after some googling!
The reason I'm posting this is that I want to make sure I'm not doing a mistake buying this version. I intend to install it on an empty hard drive, a totally clean system. I want a fully working and activated Windows 8.1.
Is this going to work? Do I need to download a Windows 7 ISO and install trial version to use this upgrade? In case of something going wrong, do I have a guarantee that I can install something with this, at least a non-activated windows until I find a new solution?
Thanks for your time, this is quite urgent for us as we need to order really soon!
