Determine Product Key Type

[Stealth]

I have a Windows 8 pc I got used and did not have an OS on it. I installed Windows 7 Pro on it and am thinking of Dual Booting with Windows 8.1. I got the Windows 8 Key with Produkey and from a Linux Live Session. They both match and I believe them to be correct. What I would like to know, is this is a Home or Pro Key, is there any way to tell by the Key alone?

Produkey calls it "Windows (BIOS OEM Key)"

Thanks, Stealth

You have a Complete Model number ? Everything I find points to your laptop coming with Win 7 Home Premium installed ?

I'm sorry Bat 1, I didn't think it mattered. I only want to know if there is a way to tell what kind of Key it is, to avoid installing the wrong OS. I guess I should just assume it was Regular Windows 8? It has a Windows 8 Sticker on the back. If it was a Windows 8 Pro it would say that right?
It's a Dell 660s Small Form Factor

Another reason I ask is because I was able to procure a Windows 8 Pro Disk recently, but no Product Key for Pro. I entered the Service Tag at the Dell Site and it don't say positively what came with Pro, and it don't say anything about Pro in the Driver Section Drop down when Choosing OS's. I run Windows 7 Pro now, and don't really see much difference than Home Premium. So don't know if windows 8 Pro would be any better either, I'll need to look that up.

Thanks

Thanks KYHI, that was my next move, though I hate installing to much junk on my pc, hope it is Portable. I've used it before but forget the Deets. Thanks for the reminder though, as I would forget some of these things if I weren't reminded!

It is not an Installer, it is a standalone program... (Portable)

That's awesome! Been real busy, will post back with my findings, though most probably know what the outcome will be. I've been using Produkey.
