I bought an OEM key online from a trusted source. Now, I downloaded the iso for Windows 8.1 PRO from Microsoft's website, but I'm unable to install using the key I got. I'm getting this error : "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."

Kindly help me with it
 
It appears by that message - you have a normal non Pro Key
Download Windows 8.1 Non Pro version
 
You can't install a Pro version using an OEM key. You will have to obtain an ISO for the OEM version you have on your PC, and those are not available from MS.

Hi.
I got my hp laptop with preinstalled windows 8 (multi language) but now when I put the key embedded in bios to download windows 8 through media creation tool it says "this key can not be used for the retail download".
Actually the mess is that I accidently formatted my harddrive and installed some pirated pro version of windows 8 but now I come to know that my key is in bios and I can reinstal original windows 8 using it so I download media creation tool for "windows 8" not for windows 8.1 bcz laptop came with win8 not win8.1 but it give me this error after putting the original key into media creation tool. Kindly help
Is it possible to instal original windows 8 using this original key . ?
 
Asalaam o alaikum.
Friends i want to ask a question , Can I install the windows 7 with Oem key and upgrade it to windows 8/8.1 or 10 for free ?
If yes then where do I find the installation media for windows 7?
Did windows 8/8.1 media creation .iso will accept the Oem key of Windows 7 ?

You really should not hijack someone else's thread -- as the original question here pertains to Windows 8 and your question is about Windows 7. You should start your own thread, instead.
 
when I open the show key plus to find the windows 7 key it says the "Windows 7 oem marker present in firmware"
what does it means ?
