So, I'm working with a Dell Laptop that came with Windows 7 64-bit, and have wiped it and installed Windows 8.1 via a clean DVD boot, full install from blank harddrive, etc.
But here's the problem. I have the watermark in the corner of the desktop telling me Windows 8.1 Pro and the next line under is says Build 9600.
I have a key for activating it as Windows 8.1 with Windows Media Center, but the key isn't working.
So, with that, I downloaded a keygenerator to attempt to crack the upgrade process and get it to allow me to put in a legitimate key after upgrading, but either way, it just isn't working.
I really don't want to have to put out $200 just to fix my problem.
