If you have upgraded your computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you may encounter an issue with product activation. This is because Windows 8.1 requires a different product key than the one used for Windows 8. However, there is a solution to this problem.
Here are the steps to activate Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 upgrade key:
1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Start button and select “Command Prompt (Admin).”
2. Type in the following command: slmgr.vbs /ipk
3. Press Enter to execute the command. You should see a message that says “Product key installed successfully.”
4. Next, type in the following command: slmgr.vbs /ato
5. Press Enter to execute the command. This will activate your copy of Windows 8.1 using the Windows 8 upgrade key.
If you encounter any issues with product activation, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance. They may be able to provide you with a new product key or help you troubleshoot any issues that are preventing activation.
In summary, if you have upgraded your computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and are having trouble with product activation, you can use the above steps to activate Windows 8.1 with your Windows 8 upgrade key. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact Microsoft support for assistance.
