Ok, slight update on this - spoke to Microsoft, and they told me to go to a third party retailer to buy a product code.. Thing is, I'm struggling to find a non pro 64bit 8.1 retail code. I don't suppose anyone can direct me to somewhere?
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I find myself in a bit of a bind.
I'm fixing a PC for a family friend - the motherboard died. Anyway, it was running Windows 8.1 - (I believe it was a cracked version - dunno, didn't build it).
So anyway, the motherboard died, so I swapped like for like - A Gigabyte SKT-AM3...
