Post by: javajolt on October 30, 2012, 05:28:41 PM

A couple of days ago,i purchased the upgrade of Windows 8 Pro and installed the operating system on a separate partition(dual boot setup with Windows 7),but while installing Windows 8 Pro on my laptop,the activation dialogue didn’t appear in the process.
 
In order to personalize the PC Windows activation is a must,so that we can personalize the start Screen and the lock screen of Windows 8.
 
So i stumbled across Nice tutorial on Windows 7 Hacker, here’s how to Activate your copy of Windows 8 Using Product Key,
