I had Windows XP installed on my PC and when Windows 8 came out, there was a cheaper Windows 8 PRO Upgrade DVD version for those who had XP and Windows 7. I bought it and installed the Windows 8 and everything was fine.
Now I want to reinstall (fresh installation) Windows 8 on my PC. My question is, do I need to install Windows XP again and then use Windows 8 PRO Upgrade DVD to install it again with the Windows 8 activation key? Or can I just put the Windows 8 Upgrade DVD in my PC and make a fresh install?
Side question for those who have Windows 8 in their companies. Is it legal to update Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 because the activation key will be different then one on the box? Will the activation key change at all?
