You need a genuine Windows 8 Professional OEM key to bypass the product key verification step, since you purchased an incorrect license.

You can simply obtain an ISO file for the Windows version you purchased and utilize it.

Download the Windows 8 ISO from Google. That’s essentially all you need.

Which operating systems did you purchase? You can obtain the official versions and install them onto a DVD (as a boot disk). Use the purchased key, but you'll also need another machine since the download will take some time.

I purchased a Windows 8.1 Pro retail key and my friend allowed me to borrow a Windows 8 Pro disk.

Just obtain an 8.1 Pro ISO file. Legally downloading the image isn't prohibited; however, using a pirated key in this situation is against the law.

Here is a generic installation key for the installer: XKY4K-2NRWR-8F6P2-448RF-CRYQH Once you have 8 installed, then you can upgrade to 8.1 and use your own key. Or you can download the 8.1 iso from the side bar at reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/
