Hi guys,
I am building a new PC for my partners Brother tomorrow. All the parts were delivered today but his copy of Windows 8 will not be delivered until next week. He really wants me to build it tomorrow and hopefully have him up and running.
I know with Windows 7 you can install it and use it for 30 days before activation is required but I must confess I don't know anything about Windows 8 really. Is this even possible with Windows 8? (Well I guess it's 8.1 now right) as that is what he is getting.
If it is possible are you allowed to give out download locations for 8.1? I don't want anyone to break any laws/rules so just let me know if not.
The ideal plan would be to be able to install 8.1 tomorrow and then for him to simply activate it when he receives his copy next week.
Cheers
Paul.
