I have a 64-bit Windows 8.1 SL in my laptop activated with a retail product key. Nowadays i want some more features like hyper-v in my laptop. So i think to upgrade to Win 8.1 Pro to have that features. I already have a Win 8.1 Pro installer pack, but i have no product key available for that.

I want to know is it possible to install that Win 8.1 Pro pack and activate it with my existing Win 8.1 SL retail product key ?

OR

Is there any way i can upgrade to Win 8.1 Pro with my existing key of Win 8.1 SL ?
