I just upgraded my existing Windows 8 to 8.1. Used the following disc:

MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT
SIZE: 3,899,295,744 byte
SHA-1: BC2F7FF5C91C9F0F8676E39E703085C65072139B
MD5: F104B78019E86E74B149AE5E510F7BE9

Used the following keys for installation:
Core=334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT
Professional=XHQ8N-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB

Use the Professional Key.

Anyway, Extracted the Disc in a Folder, and ran the setup from inside Windows. Upgraded just fine, without losing any files, data or anything whatsoever. (Just lose some Equalizer settings of Realtek HD Audio Manager)

Used KMSpico v9.0.3.20131029_Beta Edition for activating BOTH Windows 8.1 & Office 2013.
@Owi Khan, @The Avenger .... FYI!

I downloaded and installed same thing but in bit different way. Instead of extraction I opened the iso image via daemon tools and ran the setup. 8.1 installed without any problem.

I am seeing one thing when i click on desktop to open properties menu it takes too much time to open the menu. Don't know why its opening too late.

How To Boot To Desktop In Windows 8.1 Instead Of Tiles Screen

Step 1: In Desktop mode, right-click the taskbar and hit Properties.

Step 2: Go to the Navigation tab from top.

Step 3: Under Start screen (bottom pane), check the first option that says “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start”.

Step 4: Hit OK or Apply, and you’re good to go.

Doing so will bypass the Start Screen the next time you log on to Windows, putting you directly face to face with the familiar old Desktop.

Acronis disk director or Acronis partition manager. Used it professionally in many orgs. Works like a charm for clonning

Use this DVD: MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT

KMSPico has stopped working as of today (or yesterday). So far you can use TWO of the following methods.
1. Manually, involving commands.
2. Using KMSMicro (Offline KMS Solution; No auto-activation included like in KMSPico)

Using commands is easy. However, open "Regedit" and delete the following string i redlined.

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\[COLOR="#FF0000"]55c92 734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f\458e1bec-837a-45f6-b9d5-925ed5d299de[/COLOR]

Spoiler: show

These commands are only to activate Windows.

For Office:

Code:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst: (enter the KMS address here, without brackets)

Whats the problem you are facing in Office 2013 activation? Also tell me if you are using Retail or VL version?

If KMS Pico isn't working then you can try using the manual method for Office 2013 as i posted just above this.

Don't know which version is this I guess it is retail version. right now it is on 30 days trial mode.

took SS

now I downloaded 64bit version MS office 2013 Professional Plus from Subscriber Downloads

Retail version won't get activated via KMS. You'll have to CONVERT the Setup Disk to Volume License. It would've been a piece of cake with the Microsoft Toolkit made by CODY: http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f25/windows-8-official-thread-~-124256/index161.html#post2160093

Sadly, it doesn't work on Windows 8.1 as of yet. And i don't remember any other method to do so (there was one, replacing some files in Setup Disc but i forgot because it was kinda lengthy).

Anyway, you can either:
- Keep using it as it is and wait for a Toolkit compatible with 8.1
- Download the VL version of Office 2013 or find a method to convert the existing Retail setup using Google ... and then install that.

After installing the VL version, you can simply use KMS Pico to activate. However its not working anymore so you need to use the "Command" i posted a couple of posts ago inorder to activate. Thanks

My cousin Gave me this iso file some people are saying this iso file is modified so do you guys really think this a modified version?

abobobilly · Nov 8, 2013

[MENTION=38863]rabihdon06[/MENTION]! Its modified to include "all versions" of 8.1 in one disc, hence the name AIO (All in One). Atleast thats what i think.

There is no NFO file to mention further details about the ISO and there is no information given by you where you got this from. So we can't say anything for sure.

So we don't have to sync the time with KMS server any more?

P.S: I have 8.1 key, so I'm just looking for Office 2013 VL activation on 8.1.

I don't think its required, but how hard is it to sync the time anyway. So do it regardless.

Ping the servers mentioned before continuing with the activation, to see if those servers are still alive.

Baaqi you can activate easily with the command mentioned above. If you face any difficulty or problem, let me know.

OK thanks. What is the diff between VL and retail ver? on MSDN and technet website what is the ver of those MS office iso files?

07ee17 · Nov 9, 2013

I have to change few things because I was using Office 2013 VL x64 ISO. In CMD (admin):

cd\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
cscript OSPP.VBS /sethst:<KMS ADDRESS>
cscript OSPP.VBS /act
cscript OSPP.VBS /dstatus (To check activation status :180 Days)

License difference. Nothing you should be concerned about.

Juste said:

MSDN Subscriber Downloads offers both retail and Volume Licensing versions of certain products, only retail versions of some products, and only Volume Licensing versions of others.

Use this following command in cmd to find out. It'll be 180 days though, if you have used any of the method we posted on previous pages.

Code:

slmgr.vbs -xpr
