Tech Question: Windows 8.1 Install..

[VinceBordenIII]

I'm doing the CompTIA a+. A real refresher. Anywho, I need to install Window 8/8.1 on a VM so I can peruse.
Lots of keys for sale on eBay. Cheap, too.
Hmmmm....

Any clues?

hmmm... could be. but i would do it in a do loop starting with: Do n = 1,20.

just to make sure it works.

I use Virtual Box on Ubuntu to load VMs of Win7, OS/2 3.1, Minix3, Plan9, and shitz'ngiggles, Windows for Workgroups. It's been pretty solid so far.

I’m using virtual box. Ubuntu and Windows 10. Need free or cheap windows 8.

Yeah I don't think you can do that anymore. No key, no Next.

Cheap keys, ymmv.

Update: I bought a key cheap, works like a charm. I guess they get them from users who have moved on to another os?

They still want 8.1 for A+? That's nuts.

I’m interested in this bare metal hypervisor. Might set one up.

They still want vista and windows 7, too.

Don't listen to him. He's bullshitting you. Find the System 32 folder and delete it. That should fix the issue.

No, like ESXi. Nothing between the machine and the hypervisor.
