Making a direct purchase from Microsoft will ensure lifelong usage of all the amazing features without constant distraction. In order to run Windows 8, it is necessary to have Windows 8 product key , which consists of 25 character long code.
The product key is required to make sure that the activation is done from only one computer and no one else is using its copy, as it is against the rules of Microsoft Software. Having a genuine Windows 8 is of no use if the user does not activate it by using the Microsoft product key. So in order to keep enjoying and using Microsoft 8, it is recommended to get the product keys first.
There are two ways to get the product key: upon getting the Microsoft window from a shopkeeper, one would also be able to get the product key from there; and if the computer already has the windows 8 then the user might find the product key sticker behind the device.
The Windows product key is also required even when a user had it before and then he chose to uninstall it, so in order to reinstall Windows 8, he requires a product key. If, by any chance, the user is unable to find the product key, then he can simply find it by using simple tricks, as it is always stored in the windows registry and with the help of software, it is easy to retrieve the product key.
Some of the ways to get Windows 8 product key for free are:. One of the easiest ways to get Windows 8 product keys for free is to make a purchase of a new PC which has Windows 8 already installed on it. In this way, one will not have to make a fuss in installing a driver or looking for a Windows 8 key. The system is already designed to run the version of Windows so it performs it optimally. The only setback, however, with this method of getting a product key is that with new computers one could only get Professional and they do not pre-install Windows Home or its other variants.
Another easy way to get Windows 8 product keys for free is to buy a used computer which already has Windows 8 installed in it. In this way, one could save himself from buying a new product key. Similarly, one can also buy a refurbished computer which only comes in Windows7.
What one has to do is to simply downgrade it to Windows 8. If you activated a free upgrade to Windows 10 or bought and activated Windows 10 from the Windows Store, you have a digital entitlement for your device.
This means you can reinstall the same edition of Windows 10 that your device has a digital entitlement for without entering a product key. Windows 10 will automatically activate online after the installation is complete. If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:. Should anything go wrong during or after the upgrade you can use the backup to restore your previous version.

Hey Brad, Every subscription has access to Windows 8 Pro, its just that given the nature of Windows 8, its a bit hard to find on our site.
They are called, on our site: "Windows 8" "Windows 8 Pro VL" "Windows 8 Enterprise" As i stated above in the first post, the download titled "Windows 8" contains two editions: "Windows 8" and "Windows 8 Pro" Now, because the search on our site works on the name of the ISO, when you search for "Windows 8 Pro" you only find 2 above, which you probably dont have access to because its for Volume Licensing Subscriptions only.
