Hello,
I want to have access to media to for both the Home and Pro editions (currently I do have Pro from upgrade downloads from Microsoft) and I have decided to purchase a new retail DVD/Licence to get them.
However I would be wanting a new Pro licence rather than Home so my question is - Does the retail DVD in Australia for Pro also include installation for Home (subject to a legitimate licence key)?
The Home edition would certainly have Pro so that a quick upgrade could be done with Microsoft but I don't know if the Pro edition DVD would also do Home.
I also have a second question. I have a new Dell laptop which came with OEM 8.1. I've used Belarc Advisor to extract the existing Licence key. Could I use the retail DVD to re-install the Dell minus all the Dell bloatware? I've seen comments about needing to use generic keys so I can do that and change my licence key to my OEM key afterwards. But I want to make sure there there would be no issue with my OEM key in the BIOS and installing using retail media.
Thank You
