2014-01-04T17:14:48+00:00 My computer has to be brought back to Win 8 to correct a problem, since I upgraded to Win 8 from Win 7 via MS offer, and due to the Win 8.1 upgrade I no longer have my Win 8 Key, only 8.1. So I need to revert back to Win 8 to recover my key, as MS rep says they have no way to give it to me.
So simply, How Do I Get Back to Win 8?
