Hi everyone, I recently bought a laptop (Acer Aspire E1-572) that came with Windows 8.1. Since I really dislike bloatwares I want to do a clean install of 8.1. I tried to install the ISO images from Microsoft and when I enter the product key from my laptop (retrieved with Belarc), I get a message saying "This product key cannot be used to isntall a retail version of Windows 8.1".
Is there any way where I can do a fresh install of Windows 8.1? I tried some Google searches but what I found was mostly upgrading 8 to 8.1 with an 8.1 ISO. I also tried it with a generic key and also inputted my OEM key into the Windows 8 setup program from Microsoft.
Thanks.
