How to Install Windows 8.1 Pro with a Dummy Key
If you want to install Windows 8.1 Pro on your computer, but you don't have a valid product key, you can use a dummy key to bypass the activation process. A dummy key is a generic key that allows you to install Windows 8.1 Pro, but not activate it. You can use a dummy key for evaluation or testing purposes, or until you buy a genuine product key from Microsoft.
In this article, we will show you how to install Windows 8.1 Pro with a dummy key, and how to change it to a real key later.
Step 1: Download Windows 8.1 Pro ISO File
The first step is to download the Windows 8.1 Pro ISO file from Microsoft's website. You can use this link to download the ISO file: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO.
You will need to enter your Windows 8 product key to download the ISO file. If you don't have a Windows 8 product key, you can use one of these generic keys:
Windows 8 standard/non-Pro edition: FB4WR-32NVD-4RW79-XQFWH-CYQG3[^2^]
Windows 8 Pro: XKY4K-2NRWR-8F6P2-448RF-CRYQH[^2^]
Windows 8 Pro with Media Center: RR3BN-3YY9P-9D7FC-7J4YF-QGJXW[^2^]
After entering the product key, you can choose the language and edition of Windows 8.1 that you want to download. Make sure you select Windows 8.1 Pro.
Then, you can choose whether to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 Pro, depending on your system type. You can check your system type by right-clicking on This PC and selecting Properties.
Finally, you can save the ISO file to your computer or create a bootable USB drive using the Media Creation Tool.
Step 2: Install Windows 8.1 Pro with a Dummy Key
The next step is to install Windows 8.1 Pro using the ISO file or the USB drive that you created in the previous step. You can either upgrade from Windows 8 or perform a clean install.
During the installation process, you will be asked to enter a product key. This is where you need to use a dummy key for Windows 8.1 Pro. Here are some dummy keys that you can use:
Windows 8.1 standard/non-Pro edition: 334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT[^2^] [^3^]
Windows 8.1 Pro: XHQ8N-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB[^2^] [^3^]
Windows 8 Pro with Media Center: GBFNG-2X3TC-8R27F-RMKYB-JK7QT[^2^] [^3^]
Enter one of these keys and continue with the installation. You will be able to install Windows 8.1 Pro successfully, but you will not be able to activate it with these keys.
Step 3: Change the Dummy Key to a Real Key
The final step is to change the dummy key that you used to install Windows 8.1 Pro to a real product key that you purchased from Microsoft or another authorized seller.
To do this, you need to open the Settings app and go to Update & Security > Activation. You will see a message that says \"Windows isn't activated. Activate Windows now.\"
Click on Change product key and enter your genuine Windows 8.1 Pro product key. Then click on Next and follow the instructions to activate Windows. 061ffe29dd
