Problem installing Windows 8.1 torrent

[avz10]

I installed a Windows 8.1 torrent on my desktop, without problems.

On my laptop (with Windows 7), if I try to install Windows 8.1; it requests a serial number that I do not have.

Any advice?

These two screenshots were accidentally not attached to my original post.


I tried both- without updating and with updating.

You prob just grabbed the ISO. Try downloading one of the releases that says "pre-activated".

For example: Windows 8.1 U1 AIO 20in1 x64 en US Pre Activated DaRT 8.1 Feb2014-PTM

I have tried a number- here is an example of a pre-activated Windows 8.1.




What is the possibility to erase the whole disc, eg by DBAN and then try again?

That doesnt even have a release name so I cant do any research on what you grabbed. The prereleased versions will either skip the product key screen altogether or just allow you to enter all zeros. (00000-00000-00000-00000-00000)

The example also doesn't help. What does yours look like?

Idol normally points this out, but he's dangling off a ballsack, or something ATM (not meaning at the moment )...

He's not discussing anything he shouldn't. It is 'File Sharing Talk' after all. I also get the impression his English isn't that good.

It has always been a fine-line sort of rule. I've always been better at breaking them than judging them...



might point him in the right direction...

It clearly has no clue what it's talking about either. You should be able to spot this instead of dismissing suspicion.

I'm not dismissing anything. I think most people post here because they don't know they're talking or need help. That's pretty what the forum is here for.
