Original title: change of the operating system

Hello

I would like to know if the change in the operating system will also change the product ID.

Please can you me this.

Hi Agnes,.

Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

1. are you referring to the product key or Product ID?

2. you try to upgrade to Windows 8.1 with the same product key?

Product ID is built into the hardware of the machine components. The product key is a 25 character alphanumeric code shown in five groups of five characters each (for example, BCDFG-12345-HJKLM-67890-NPQRS). When you change the operating system, product ID remains the same and not need to change.

You can reuse the product key in the file product ID for multiple installations of the same version of the operating system. The product key in the product ID file is only used to install Windows.

The edition of Windows that you are installing must match the product key used to activate Windows. If you use a product key to select a Windows edition, we recommend using the same key to activate Windows, so that the edition you are installing is the same as the edition that you select.

Work with the keys and product activation
