    How to re-activate windows after key change ?


    I did got HWID banned in a online game so i did install some Cleaner which is supposed to change the HW information. It worked but it also changed my windows activation key and now its not activated. I did get the OEM key and the original key but none of those work. What should I do ?

    :)

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    This worked for me last time with a Win 8 key.

    Install Windows 8.1 and enter KMS key during setup. Once in windows change product key to my Windows 8 key. Go to add features and enter my WMC add-on key. Drink a beer to a job well done.

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    So it will be fine installing 8.1 pro with a KMS key, then switch to my 8 pro key and it will activate ok?

    Maybe a daft question but why can't you just install 8.1 pro with the 8 pro key, or is it different keys for 8 and 8.1? seems silly when 8.1 is a free update anyway.

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    KMS Keys: Appendix A: KMS Client Setup Keys

    Windows usually activates as soon as you change the product key from the KMS key to your Windows 8 key. You are then free to either enter your WMC key or not.
