AIO = {All in one} a type of touch screen computer that has everything built into the monitor.

They are made by lots of different company makers and ime no two look alike so;
1. make , model?
2. If it is a genuine (stand alone) 8.1 key then is should not expire unless you didn't activate it... basicly this needs a Microsoft email id,... is the system giving you an error of some sort at boot and can you take a screenshot of it?
3. Is the key from another machine or has the original hdd perhaps been replaced?
p.s. 4. have you perhaps used this key on one of your V-machines as well?

Yes but I assume he needs pro for hyper-v? So thats 7, 8, 8.1 (pro) and upgrade it to WX or just go ahead and purchase a wx pro... they all go for about $50 each now days, Link Removed

If you have a valid license you should open a command prompt and type slmgr /xpr
This will tell you when the license expired and/or what is going on as far as the operating system is concerned. And, has been said, by all means, contact the activation phone number for Microsoft. Here is a link: Link Removed

Yes, if you put your original key (reinstall fresh Windows 8.1 home/ not pro needed) then you can upgrade that to Windows home 10.
fyi the way to add a legit pro licence over a home install is by the "add features" tool in your control panel... doing this swaps one licence for the other and only the new key remains.

We have given you the legal options and that’s as far as we're willing to go… reading between the lines… is hoping to get a "how to hack windows" discussion going which isn't something I think this forum allows.
Others have chipped in to help and I'm convinced that between us, we have given all the available options… this discussion is now starting to cycle back in on itself so I'm locking this thread here.
