I deleted the product key and deactivate my PC through a program. Now I want to activate Windows again without a product key because I cannot afford USD$110. How do I reactivate Windows 8.1 without a key?
If Windows 8 came in a preinstalled PC, you can restore to factory defaults and install Windows 8.1 for free upgrade in Windows Store. Contact the PC manufacturer on how to restore to defaults.
If you bought the Windows 8.1 license online, the product key should be on your email.
Hope this helps.
