Need a little help...
Brought Win 8 for 14.99 (good times) reinstalled Win 7 ultimate
Didn't realise that it slower with an SSD excel takes 2-3 secs instead on 1 etc..

Any ways, was checking my email for the upgrade key and cound not find it.
I found

Windows

My Order
If you want to view the status of your registration, you can do so at any time by visiting https://www.WindowsUpgradeOffer.com/MyOrder. Does'nt work any more.

Can some tell if they emailed the key (the title of the email would be great)

I have a backup (acronis ture image) if I can search it for the key.

Thanks and enjoy Friday!!!!

https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/MyOrder could be down due to server issue..

I suggest removing that key, mate

If you took advantage of the offer at the release of Windows 8, then yes, they would have emailed you the key.

I have 2 emails (as I purchased 2 copies) - the subject (to help you search for it) was:

Thanks for ordering Windows 8 ( order # XXXXXXXXX )

Create another folder and stick it in there, so you don't delete it.

or print it out and also copy it in notepad then save it on a flash drive. it's better than keeping the email because if someone hacks your email account they would have your windows 8 key

maybe they can if you prove it's your key. they may ask for your payment information or something for proof

Download Keepass, store your keys in that, keep your Keepass DB on some cloud storage / email
