Windows 8.1 for Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade

Hello

I recently bought a Lenovo with Windows 8 desktop computer for a customer. I have updated to 8.1 of Windows using my microsoft account. When I went to install it, I discovered that the Office was created with a domain name. I thought that this could be considered and was ready to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro so I could get it on the network.
I was looking for methods to buy a key, so I could switch to pro.  I wasn't able to stay on site to work on this.
I studied the process upgrade and read that if you update victory 8 to 8.1 Win of the store, you cannot upgrade to Win Pro 8.1 store and need to get media.  Not sure if this means that I have to buy Windows 8 Pro pure and simple.
Anyone have the answer to my next step to go pro?

Yes, you will first need to purchase the Pro Pack Windows 8.1 then update.

  • Windows whenever the Pro upgrade install problem

    While the windows installation anytime 7 Pro upgrade windows 7 the screen locked upwards and after restarting the screen even maintains locks and display. It is an ASUS computer (1 day old) and is the screen on that hangs the screen ASUS recovery tool. This came after I inserted a DVD to make recovery disks.

    Thank you. Larry

    Try to do a restore using the recovery partition, the attempt of the Express upgrade again.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  • Windows 8 pro upgrade - question about relocation

    I am running Windows 8 (Standard Edition) - it came preinstalled on my computer, and thus the product key is stored on my BIOS.

    I would like to be running Windows 8 Pro. However before I have to spend $200, I want to know exactly how the upgrade system - the rest of the internet is very clear on that. I have the following questions:

    (1) if I buy an upgrade Windows 8 Pro on the Microsoft Store (search > add features > purchase online product key), and then later I want to do a clean reinstall Windows pro 8, if I can install Windows 8 Pro or what I need to install Windows 8 and then go again?

    (2) if I have to upgrade again can I use the option 'I already have a product key' in 'Add features' and use the product key that I bought?

    (3) if I go out to a retailer and buy Windows 8 Pro and do a clean install, it will install in Windows 8 Pro or I have to use "add features"? If I have to use 'Add features', will be the product key that comes with my Windows 8 Pro that I bought work detailing if I select "I already have a product key?

    (4) if I want to upgrade to Windows Pro 8.1 in what order should I upgrade? Is - this Windows 8 > Windows 8 Pro > Windows 8.1 Pro or Windows 8 > 8.1 Windows > Windows Pro 8.1? (Please do not link me to the FAQ section, I've been there and that you can't find the answer. If you wish to make a reply in this section it otherwise I'll have to ask you to clarify rephrase please.)

    (5) is there a way I can save windows 8.1/Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade files so that I don't have to download again if I clean install my OS? If so, how do I.

    1. You need to install Windows 8 and upgrade to Pro again.
    2. Yes, you can of course. This code will work for you for ever. Just keep it somewhere safe (I keep all my OneNote product keys, but you can also store them as text files OneDrive or another course).
    3. The complete packaging product key will work as well.
    4. You cannot jump directly from Windows 8 > Windows Pro 8.1.  You would have either A) download the 8.1 update before you type the key Pro 8.1 or B) to obtain a Pro 8.0 and use it, then go to 8.1.
    5. There is really no files actually.  Each version of Windows has everything, the code is that it unlocks for use.  What is new, starting with Vista, this is why the "features add to Windows ' (formerly 'AnyTime Upgrade' is here.

      But you could always take your computer, update / update to 8.1 Pro you have, then do a system image backup, so you can always go to immediately exactly hassle-free.  Bonus, this backup can even include all of your installed programs, settings and customization.

  • With the help of VWmare on my Windows 10 machine & I need an OEM Windows 7 Ultima Pro 64 bits for Xilinx Vicado to run

    I am development engineer and my material design of Xilinx Vicado package will not work in the new Windows 10. I said that he can not find running libraries etc.. They use batch to determine if the directories exist etc. Well, I've spent big buck to get the latest version of VMware. I install my OEM of Windows 7 Ultra Pro 64 bit version and install the key software must work. So after you have installed, the activation of my key does not work. I made several suggestions, but it is not supported anymore. Yes big problem so it is not supported, I understand that I watch the news and reading materials. I use Microsoft products since the first Windows 286 and spent a lot of money using your products. So Microsoft is going to fuck me a disable us marine veteran? After paying my bills every month I $168 to feed my son and myself. I may as well cancel all subscriptions and eat food, but I'm 65 years old and that I have to keep my mind active but a brain injury, broken back and I might as well jump off a cliff, but I love my child and myself. So tell me how are you going to fuck me.

  • Windows 7 Pro upgrade for reuse

    My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro. When it happens, I would use my Windows 7 recovery discs (Home Premium) to bring the machine to its original state, and then install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Then I would use the disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to upgrade to another computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Will there be problems reusing this disc again?

    Hi flnettles,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it is licensed OEM - No.
    OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

    If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
    1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
    2. press enter on your keyboard
    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

    Note: Tests of Windows 8.1 Preview (warning)

    It was clear that test the preview Windows 8.1 will not as simple and involve certain prerequisites.

    Do not install it on a machine or production start-up disk.

    Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus reiterated this message in the RT in the session of the company Tuesday. When the preview 8.1 is available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a notification from Windows Update. This update will trigger the new bits will appear in the Windows store, where potential testers will be able to read the description and choose to install or not.

    Once the final versions of Windows 8.1 are available, after their release to manufacturing, those who have downloaded the preview will get the same Windows Update and the Windows Store notification. While their data and their accounts will be kept if and when they choose to install version 8.1 free, final, all their applications must be reinstalled, said Niehaus.

    Even if the testers are opting instead to restore their Windows 8 devices after you install the bits of the preview, they will still have to reinstall their applications once they move to the RTM of Windows 8.1 version.

    Windows 8 users who do not install the preview build and opt instead to go directly from Windows 8/Windows RT for Windows 8.1 will not reinstall their applications. All parameters, data and applications will be postponed, a spokesman said when I asked. Users will be able to decide when and if they want to switch from Windows 8 and Windows RT to the 8.1 versions, officials stressed.

    See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of an installation of Windows XP here using Acronis True Image here

    Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows XP is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

    These same principles should work for the people who are running Windows Vista.

    If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be very handy in case of failure of your installation of Windows 8. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

    Use the Virtual Machine software:

    This method is recommended if you have a powerful enough processor and plenty of memory.

    You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  • Windows 8 Pro X 64 for Windows x 64 pro 8.1 update

    I'm a little confused, but I think that the answer that was given to me by an MS Technician.

    I have improved my parts of it to install windows 8 pro from scratch.

    In a bulk of 4 days, I had to call to activate windows about 5 times.

    I would like to activate, and then next day window will say windows must be enabled.

    Had to reinstall windows 8 pro several times.

    Here's the problem, I understand that I can not update my copy of windows 8.0 pro for windows 8.1 pro free.

    The free update to windows pro 8.1 was a special promotion offered during a short period of the last year?

    Just like the Windows Media center free offer?

    If this is true (which I think it is) then why when I started my computer this morning was there a message that says I have a free windows 8.1 in the MS store in waiting for download?   He said windows 8.1 not windows pro 8.1 to be precise.

    And, Yes, when I checked the MS store there was windows 8.1 day about 3.64 GB in size.

    So what is the answer to this problem.  Should I update to windows 8.1 and facing problems of activation or not?

    All users of Windows 8 have right to 8.1 Windows Update. There are different editions of Windows 8:

    Windows RT - right of Windows RT 8.1

    Windows kernel Windows 8.1 - 8 right

    Windows 8 Pro - right of Windows Pro 8.1

    Windows Enterprise 8 - the right of the company of Windows 8.1 (cannot be downloaded to Volume License Service center.

    As long as your current Windows 8 Pro is activated, you are entitled to the free Windows 8.1 Pro update through the store. There is no need to worry other activations.
