[no longer available] Free Win 8.1 key to Dreamspark members

[alekhkhanna]

Shifted master disk to a SSD and Installed Win 8.1 64bit. Did not detect my graphics card (old Radeon HD 4850) and Linksys PCI-G Adapter. Finding drivers for the latter was a PITA, but running really smooth now.

Will there be an update on windows update like they do for Service packs to update 8 to 8.1 ?

 

[alekhkhanna]

^^ Most likely. On Oct 17th.

 

[thaniks]

Thanks OP for the heads up.

Spoiler

Press ગુજ button in the systray and select English language or press win+Space @haris5sani

 

[haris5sani]

Thanks a lot, 1 thing more.
I am not able to delete the 1st language set(Gujarati), however I can delete English or any other language.
Any tip ?

 

[paarkhi]

@haris5sani, I'm afraid that this is not the right place to discuss so sent you a PM along with Screenshots. Please check your PM

 

[haris5sani]

By far getting a ACM membership is the most legit way you can get a cheap windows 8 key.

 

[Tech_enthu]

So all or most of the guys have not renewed their memberships for ACM
@kuduku, I thought you were excellent in making this thread after our convo and you did a stellar job.. Danke.. !
But We know that there are going to be rapid updates to OS's now.. !!! so should we renew.
I mean Rs.900 plus taxes isn't much.

I also want to ask if there is any download link of Windows 8.1 pro and that matches the SHA and values of original ones....
Please suggest.

 

[haris5sani]

^^Regarding download check Arjun's post on previous page.
All details of SHA and with download links.

 

[Arjun]

^ those links have been removed, now download the torrent iso by "wzt" & match its hash with the SHA1 i posted on the last page, http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48077-WZT-leak-to-MSDN-ISO-hash-checks

 

[Tech_enthu]

Thanks @Arjun I amgoing to download the ISO's and will share what the SHA values are.. !!
@kuduku I want to renew my account on ACM, should I go for it ??

Nope! Create a new account, if you would create new a/c you would get all keys once again(different from old a/c).

[Tech_enthu]

Thanks @kuduku and @ivhere I am letting this renewal offer go to rest and then again I am going to make a new account, if I need some new keys
