Activating Windows 8
Posted on 2013-01-08
I have a pro copy of Windows 8 which I downloaded as part of the MS Volume licensing service. When I got to activate it I only get the option to go online and it checks the KMS. I want to input the key but I dont get the option?
Is there somewhere else I can enter the key?
