Why microsoft does not provide the product key for windows 8.1

I have genuine windows 8 so if Microsoft gives the free update to windows 8.1 store so why he does not provide the product key for windows 8.1 so that we can update to it through disk offline

If you want to install Windows 8.1 clean, but have only a product key Windows 8, you must install Windows 8.1 with a placeholder key - keys of the placeholder will be not - activate and change your product key for Windows 8 key.

The placeholder keys are:

8.1 Windows placeholder - core 334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT
8.1 Windows placeholder - pro XHQ8N-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB

  • Reinstall Windows 7 does not accept the product key

    Just bought a new PC to replace my crashed. Install Windows 7 from the DVD I got for my old PC. It does not accept the product key. Think it's because it was a copy of Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do about this that I can't downgrade to Windows XP. I have the original and the product key for Windows XP disks.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • MS Office does not accept the product key and does not leave my type anything on Word documents

    I have windows 2007 edition vista Home premium and I neglected to enter my product key every time I opened a word document. I discovered that after 25 hours of opening ms Office it will not let type you anything on the document. I entered the 25-digit product key, that she had asked because I found on the label on the back of my lap top and every time I entered the code, he said that it was not valid. I double checked to make sure that I typed the numbers in the right order several times and it still does not accept it! I'm in the product key? I also tried the product ID and that no longer works. Help, please! Thank you!

    • Home Premium Windows Vista 2007
    • MS Word does not accept the product key
    • When you open MS Word, impossible to type anything

    You enter the incorrect product key. The product key on the back of your laptop is for the Vista operating system, no office. The office, which is preinstalled on your computer has a trial version. You can buy Office in order to continue using it. Then, you will get the Office product key.

    It does not work because you have an OEM license, which means you need to call Dell for support. After 15 months that Dell could not even provide free assistance.
