my next fiasco is as follows. I am running a sony vaio at work which i purchased a downloaded version of windows 8.1 pro. the original operating system was vista.
i have dell pc that was handed down to me from another department with windows 7 onboard. in the process of changing the user name and password i must have made a mistake when i changed them and now i cant get past that point. wait, it gets better.
i came up with the bright idea install a copy of the windows 8.1 pro from the sony to the dell. that is when i learned that i was only authorized for the product key on one computer only. i was able to install 8.1 on the dell but it would not let me activate. that brings me to my current problem.
is there any way to remove 8.1 from the sony and reinstall it on the dell. I have the product key and i also have the disc back up from the sony for vista.
i feel very inadequate right now.
hopefully submitted,
