Hi.
I recently installed Windows 8.1 using a DVD, but I realized the product key was used on another computer. So, I was thinking of purchasing Windows 8.1 online from Microsoft, but it's $150! At a local store (Officeworks) they sell a Windows 8.1 full version DVD for a cheaper price.
Now here's my question:
Can I use the product key located in the DVD packaging to activate Windows 8.1 on my PC?
If so, will it work by going to PC Settings > Activate Windows > Enter Key?
Thanks in advance!
PS, these forums are great, and I'm getting used to using Windows 8.1, besides the constant popups asking meto activate
