Hello one and all, yet another newbie here, been doing some research and looking at what options I have to avoiding Win 10 as much as possible.
With Win 7 support rapidly coming to an end, I was looking to get win 8.1 Pro, and that is proving to be very interesting, with MS support still there for it, yet not selling it. I found a few sellers on Amazon as well as several other sites selling it for less than $50.00, there is a site that is selling it with office 2013 Pro.
Unsure of posting urls of such sites, reason I'm search all options, I bought a copy of office 2013 Pro from amazon and I could not get the product key to activate, the install disc has the MS hologram logo I even have the credit card sized card with the CD Key / product key. Upon talking with Microsoft office tech and screen share as well, I showed them everything I had, I was told that because it was not purchased from MS direct, it could be that I was a victim of a scam.
And this now puts me on edge on spending more Funds for an OS that MS no longer sells but does support, and is why I chose to sign up and see what advice / assistance I could receive.
Excuse the long Post in this thread.
