    Problems with activating windows 8.1


    I got the iso for windows 8.1 from the official website, now when I run the app it asks for my product key. I type it in accepts it and then it says "Setup has failed to determine supported install choices" I am running Windows 10 and trying to downgrade to Windows 8.1.

    Please help!

    :)

    activate window 8 .1

    Did you buy 8 or did it come preinstalled?

    Activate Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 - Windows Help - Microsoft Support

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    With Windows 8/8.1 The Product Key on preinstalled Operating Systems (HP, Acer, etc) is embedded in the BIOS in the Motherboard, so that the lost and/or worn C.O.A. Sticker problem is no more.

    When you reinstall it will pick up the Product Key and activate the system automatically.

    If it does not or you have activation problems, follow these steps:
