The operating system on my laptop now includes its key within the MOBO. I purchased the device using a Windows 8 edition (the exact one isn’t clear). I intend to replace the HDD with an SSD for improved performance, which would require reinstalling Windows. Should I reinstall the original Windows version or can I simply reinstall WX since that’s what I updated it to?

It seems you likely have Windows 8 Core Edition installed, but your activation key might not support the 8.1 version. You can still use the 8.1 installation key, and after setup you can switch to your original key.

Check if Windows 8.1 is available; if not, consider updating to version 8 for better compatibility.

Your key supports activation on version 8.1, though it might not function during installation. For the full setup, use the standard 8.1 install key instead.

That’s a bit confusing. It seems you’re trying to access Windows 8.1 but getting redirected to Windows 10 instead. You’ll need to find the correct download link for Windows 8.1 from the Microsoft website.
