Downgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 8 Pro

Recommended Posts

For now, I give up on Windows 8.1 until a successful activation (KMS or otherwise) of Office 2013 Pro Plus. I cannot get any version of Skype to work. During offline activation calling +448000188354 I get a prompt "press 1 for home, 2 for business". I keep pressing 1 and I get "you have not chosen a valid option".

I found a valid Windows 8.1 iso and activated it with my paid Windows 8 Pro key through the phone (I don't know why it did not work initially-found a general installation key on the internet).

Fortunately, I made a Macrium Reflect Restore Image just in case something went wrong. I now have Windows 8 Pro back with Office 2013 Pro Plus activated with Microsoft Toolkit. I, along with many others, am anxiously awaiting an easier way to activate Office 2013 on Windows 8.1. I like 8.1 and am hoping this will be resolved soon. I simply cannot afford Microsoft Office.

Office 2010 can be KMS-activated with MTK on Windows 8.1. Other options include but aren't limited to OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, etc.

Wrong...

You can activate Windows 8.1 Pro offline with a key by using Skype.. I did too, I have Windows 8.1 Pro + Media Center and Office 2013 Pro Plus, all activated without using a legit bought key...

install windows 8.1 with key (whatever found on the net) after installation start a dos box (administrator) and choose slmgr / ipk (youre legit key) enter it

then slmgr / ato

fully activated legit.

Thanks for everyone's input. I can activate Windows 8.1 legally (I bought a legit key for Windows 8 last year for 14.99 dollars- it's Office 2013 that's the problem. Like I said, until a newer version of Microsoft Toolkit can activate Office 2013, I'll stick with version 8.Office Pro Plus is activated. The reason I posted this in the first place was to get general feedback. I was curious if anyone else downgraded to 8.

@shorty6100,

You could be waiting days, months, years or there may never be a kms activator for 8.1. Why not just use an ONLINE activation key for Office 2013, when they are available, it doesn't get easier than that :)

bro its very easy to activate microsoft office 2013 :showoff: . If you are getting a chance to activate using leaked retail keys, then go for it rather than using KMS activation.

see november_ra1n topics...its very easy to understand and follow... :lol: :D

it will hardly take some 15 min to do it :P ...and you need not do the skype call also if you are not getting it :s ...just post your installation id in november_ra1n thread and some good soul will help you out :D ...you can PM me too if you want...

its very easy bro...just give it a try while its still working!!!!

please just insert any jack into the mic slot of your pc/laptop, coz skype looks for mic and speaker, and in case you don,t have mic att, you get the reply from 448000188354 that no key was pressed.

just insert any jack of size into the mic slot and it functions perfect.

try it
