Recently my friend received components for a new computer, but we're encountering issues. The specifics are available here if anyone wants to assist ( In short: he has a Windows 8.1 key, I have a Windows 8 disk, are they compatible? Thanks for reading.

Consider obtaining the Win8.1 ISO file and installing it in that manner.

The question is clear. The answer is uncertain.

Place the ISO on a USB drive or disc for easy access.

We started with what we did first, and we think that led to the problems we're facing now. I understand my Windows 8 disc functions properly, and I would really like to use it again.

It shouldn't create problems since the ISO must match the disc that was burned by MS

I understand that a Windows 8 key isn't compatible with Windows 8.1, so it's likely not the reverse.

I believe it would work, I think I did something similar.

What is this? It seems you're questioning how someone could claim something without proof. You didn't explain how to confirm the file is original. OP, this won't work.
