I no longer partition a drive prior to booting my Windows DVD. Also, that product key issue was read about on a torrent crack 8.1 image, so time to tell the source their 8.1 is broken?
Bob
so I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on my Apple iMac. I have successfully partitioned my hard drive to the point where Windows wants me to put in the product code. They show an example of 25 numbers, 5 each...xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
The problem is that the only product code on the box is 22 digits long as follows xxxxxxxxxx-x-xxxxxxx-xxxx
No matter how I do it, I can't continue...I'm guessing because of the wrong number of digits. Any help greatly appreciated, Bill
