noob question but can dreamspark product keys for Windows Server,Thin client etc be used for consumer versions?
I have a basic dreamspark so I didnt get free consumer product key ,got product keys for every other version of windows

^^ Not sure what you mean (your posts needs corrections). But I have a dreamspark account, and I am using a key that I received for the Server 2008 R2 edition of windows.
Again, not sure if I answered your question.

so you used a Server 2008 R2 key for 8.1 Pro activation?
I recieved keys for every version except consumer(8.1 Pro)
Have 7-8 keys for most editions of Server,ThinPC etc so was wondering if they can be used for Pro activation

 

[Vyom]

No, I am using Server 2008 R2 key to activate and use Server 2008 R2 edition windows. You can't use that key to activate any version of Windows 8.

I am Curious to know that what will be new in windows 10.

Windows 7 and 8.1 users, latest update from M$ has installed something called GWX (seemingly Get Windows 10) on my system under C:\Windows\System32\GWX.
