![]() You can use slmgr to install your key once you have it, and activate on line hopefully. Suggest you get the OS installed and let it complain and update and see what you can do with the licensing once activation is its only issue. (Coincidence or could those updates have had an impact on older activation systems somehow? TBH I haven’t installed since then.) Though if you need to get Windows installed (for example to retrieve your BIOS key with wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey) you can use a staging key (artile at bottom) to do that – Windows 8 keys will activate Windows 8.1 though you might actually need to phone Microsoft as a series of updates changed the way signing is handled – I had a battle to stay attentive long enough through the endless service announcements to get the right key to press to end up at the right place on Microsoft’s switchboard to activate Windows 7 last time. You might need to update Windows 8 a fair bit before it activates: Mainly enterprise licensing has download rights, so starting with Windows 10 (probably your best option – have you tried that while you can, just to see?) and going backwards isn’t going to be cheap or easy either: If it never had Windows 8 perhaps consider trying Windows 10 before that option closes?
