Hi
I have clean installed Windows 8.1 on a friend's new laptop. The install media is a flash drive created from a Windows 8.1 image I downloaded directly from Microsoft using some trick I found on this website. If it matters I may have used my Windows 8.1 upgrade key for the trick or if that is not possible I probably used my own Windows 8 key.
Before clean installing on my friend's laptop I extracted the product key using ekeyfinder and after clean installing I extracted a different product key from the BIOS using the Rw utility. I am unable to activate Windows with either key.
Is there anyway this can be done without having to order install media from Lenovo?
