OK so I am trying to activate Windows 8.1. I have a mac, and this is different hardware than the first installation.
I was given these instructions to activate on my old machine.
For any Product Key activation issues ,
phone Activation Method could be tried :
Type-in "slui 4" without the quotes in the run box and follow the instructions.
For error 0XC004F061 :
Type-in "regedit" in the run box without quotes , access the location :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Setup\OOBE and on the right pane , right-click on MediaBootInstall and change the value from 1 to 0.
Run the command prompt in administrator mode , and execute the command "slmgr -rearm".
restart the computer and try to check for the activation status and if still not activated , try to activate again.
Is it possible to activate, given I have a new computer, without calling Windows?
edit: in the registry OOBE directory I created a new file called MediaBootInstall, all to no cigar.
