   That is legit?
   
   I saw Newegg has windows 8 but I don't want to have to wait for delivery for the software when I have it already and just need a key.

   Yeah but that is $20 more than buying the physical disc. Is that my only option and price if I want just a key?

   You have to have a key to get the ISO. Yes its cheaper to order a OEM disk
   
   Now with Windows 7 you can download the ISO and install then order the disk and put in the key later. You have 30 days. I wish they did that with W8

   30? It gave me 3 days and then started whining about how not genuine it is.

    They do, my laptop has unactivated 8.1 on it. Everytime I boot the laptop , it tells me I need to activate Windows, and prompts me to go to my PC settings to activate it. I go to my PC setting, then just click my desktop tile and do what I got on the laptop for.

    Ofc you can make bootable usb and mod it alittle
    after creating mount image navigate to <usb>:\sources\
    mod ei.cfg
    [EditionID]
    Professional
    [Channel]
    Retail
    [VL]
    0
    
    If you want the setup to ask which edition you want install without entering the product key, leave the [EditionID] blank.
    You can also set [VL] (Volume Licensing) to 1 (for true) and [Channel] to OEM/Retail
    if you ever want to enter the product key, you can do so from the Windows Activation window or using the slui 3 command.​

    I reported this post until I reread it. I thought it was a hacked key but its just an install key so MODS disregard my report.

    I have a pro-key that is unused, and it's full retail, but I doubt you want the spendy pro version...

    Only if you pay a fair offer, but I really don't want to turn this into a for-sale thread...
