Hi I am in the process of reinstalling an unbloated version of Windows on my Asus laptop. It originally came pre-installed with Windows 8. I managed to retrieve the OEM key using Belarc Advisor. I have a copy of Windows 8.1 PRO lying around...I was wondering two things:
1. Will my laptop ONLY accept the OEM key it was originally shipped with?
2. Assuming I have to use the original key that was built-in the laptop, does this mean I cannot change the Windows edition from regular to Pro? That I have to stick with the regular edition that was pre-installed?
