Bootcamp installation for windows 8.1 was a success now when I entered booting it it gives me this “enter the product key to activate windows” I don’t have one and I thought it had the option to continue without a product key but don’t know how to get it need help please!!🙏🏻
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
Enterprise Volume installations may be an option. Search for ei.cfg. This is a temporary solution.
W8.1 Keys are no longer sold by Microsoft. Buying from third-party re-sellers is not reliable. Many OEM keys are sold, which do not work on Macs. You need a valid Retail Key.
Contact Microsoft.
can you send me a link of a cheap windows 8.1 product key?
You can try Amazon or eBay, but ensure you are getting a Retail key, not an OEM key.
It may also be worth it to buy W10, instead of W8.1.
But my 2011 mini Mac might not be supported for windows 10 it only supports 7 and 8. Is their a way to download windows 10 with an unsupported Mac?
There are no Apple-certified W10 drivers for a 2011 Mac. However, you can install W10, but using standard Windows drivers.
Windows 8.1 bootcamp need product key!!
