I have a copy of 8 that I purchased during the initial pre release of this Operating system. I never used it until now that a friends mother was asking me about windows 8 so I told her I could let her try it on her XP system and see how she liked it and then if she liked it we could purchase a copy for her. Turns out she loves it, who knew.
Now that we are looking into this I am told that we would have to purchase the new software and reload it on her computer. I am hoping not to have to do this but I do want to keep my original cd's and license key. Another friend told me would could just buy the cd's or license key and enter it on the currently loaded system and that would release my original key back to me.
What's the verdict?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
