I have both windows 8 (OEM) and windows 8.1 single language (OEM) purchased from Distributor of Trident Corporation (Sri Lanka).Windows 8.1 SL (OEM) has installed to my dell laptop and Windows 8 SL (OEM) has installed todesktop computer. Both OS are not factory installed one. those were purchased OEM editions from above local distributer.
Then, I need to install (clean) windows 8.1 using windows 8.1 SL OEM disk and windows 8 license key to my desktop computer also without updating throughwindows store.
However I tried to install (Clean) windows 8.1 SL using windows 8 SL license. I had both DVD's (Windows 8 & 8.1 SL OEM's), I was unable to do it. Windows 8.1 did not accept windows 8 license key.
Please help me if there is a method to install windows 8.1 using windows 8 license?
Thank you.
