Hi to the forum.
This is my first post.
I got a windows 8 pro disk from amazon and installed it on my laptop over windows 7 and it worked great, no problems.
I then downloaded windows 8 pro from Microsoft on to one of my desk top pc's which was running windows xp. This went well with no problems at the time.
Tonight the hard drive died on that desk top. When I put a new drive in this desk top can I use the windows 8 pro disk to install on this hard drive but with the windows pro 8 key from the windows 8 pro I downloaded.
also as its is a upgrade windows 8 will I need to reinstall windows xp first.
Thank you for you help with this.
Regards Cornishman
