Question

Windows

Good day.
Colleagues, can anyone share 8.1 about OEM?
A beech with a PRO edition and a dead hard drive has been coming several times, but the serial is not activated in the retail image...
I don't want to refuse to repair.

Answer 1

1) If there is an OEM version, then the key is either embedded in the BIOS, and then it should be picked up from the MSDN image without problems. Either the system was installed by the manufacturer from an OEM disk, but then there must be a sticker with a key on the case, with which you can manually activate it.
2) If right during the installation the system reports that the key is not suitable, but you did not enter the key, then most likely there is not a Pro version, but a Single Language. And you can download it for free.

Hello.
The key is sewn into the BIOS, pulling it out from there is not a problem, and I did it, contacted Microsoft, determined by the number that it was a PRO, and was told that an OEM image was needed for installation.
During installation, it does not require a key to be entered, because it is embedded in the BIOS, but after installation, it cannot be activated ...
I tried Windows from the Microsoft website, you can download it without problems.
In addition, there is a desktop computer with a 8.1 PRO OEM sticker, at the very beginning of the installation, it asks for a key, the input does not give anything.
Some kind of key was received from Microsoft, to continue the installation, then after, replace it with a license key.
But after that, the system did not want to accept the key in any way ...
All images were downloaded from the Microsoft website, but they are for the boxed version ..
