| 1428806 | 2016-11-15 21:34:00 | Hi there With a Win8 re-install , I want to do the free upgrade to 8.1 The official way is via the MS Store, but that requires all the Win8 winupdates to be installed first . From memory (a year or 2 ago) there were only a few actual updates required, but I dont have that list anymore So, can I just use a Win8.1 CD/USB & use that to do the ug , over the top of Win8 ? |

Its just gone, the apps I use to extract bios embedded keys find nothing . Luckliy I have that key in a txt file , from when I extracted it a year back. Otherwise I wouldnt be able to activate . I bit disturbing that it can disappear, or no longer be detected in the bios |

| 1428808 | 2016-11-15 22:37:00 | "the bios emdedded activation/install key has gone missing from the bios" Think that only started with Win10%, before that I thought one always had to re-enter the activation/installation key on any reinstall. I stand to be corrected on this. |
