Long shot but thought I would ask before buying a key again.
My PC came with Windows 7 (key sticker still on the back of the box)
I brought
Microsoft Windows Professional 8 32-bit/64-bit English International Version Upgrade 1 License DVD Upgrade from Windows XP, Vista,7 to Windows 8 Professional
and linked it to my MS account (same one I am logging this under)
My main drive was a SDD and when it died last week, I can't find my Microsoft 8 Pro key anywhere (found the Windows 7 as its still suck on the back on the PC) and I found the Windows 8 DVD.
As the Windows 7 key was used as part of the upgrade to Windows 8 (as it was the upgrade version of Window 8) Is it stored anywhere online, linking the two keys? So I can give my Windows 7 key and MS can show the Windows 8 key I used? Or do I have to go
buy another Windows 8 key?
I still have my receipt and date of purchase (08-11-2012, 13:44) Or do I just take is as a lost cause and buy the software again (this time via MS Website so its stored online and therefore can never be lost)
