Hello, welcome! I understand you're looking for guidance on switching from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8 for your new laptop. If you remove the 8.1 installation and install Windows 8, it should accept the key from the original laptop. Just make sure to back up any important data before proceeding. Let me know if you need further clarification!

You might prefer 8 because it fits better in your needs. The other option, 8.1, doesn't quite match what you're looking for.

It's likely a no. You may still be able to trade the key.

You're considering a downgrade due to performance drops and compatibility problems with Windows 8.1. If you install a fresh Windows 8, it might resolve those issues since the BIOS key won't be affected.

It doesn't seem the reduced FPS is caused by 8.1.

So what's the issue? The same games and setup work well on both versions, but 8.1 was clearly slower. It's a straightforward question—I just wanted to clarify. Thanks.

To clarify your query, it seems you're confirming the correct version for your system. The key you mentioned is specific to Windows 8.1, not a direct upgrade from Windows 8. The process allows upgrading only if you have the appropriate key for Windows 8.1.
