Windows Licence Keys

Hi Guys

I've already got a windows 7 installation disk so am looking to buy a licence for it.

I've looked on the microsoft website but i can only seem to see an option to buy an upgrade to windows 8 for an existing windows 7 install.

Is there anyway to buy one or do i need to buy a new OEM pack from somewhere?

Im not too sure if it will work, but once you install and it asks to activate there is usually an options for buying a new product key if your old one did not work.

Ok great, its just to install XBMC over as i've been having problems with the Linux based installs, as such i was hoping to keep it as cheap as possible!

Im not sure on the pricing of it though, or if thats the best way to go around it, worth a look though i suppose.

Cheers, the other option is to try and find illegal methods but obviously can't talk about that here!
