I don't think there should be an issue in that, until you have a valid license and this should give you that

I do not know why you would be having a problem activating. You could take a look at this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/why-activate-windows Activation carries very few real benefits. It's a nuisance to have an unactivated copy, but you can ignore the activation messages and still use the computer for now. Certain Microsoft products such as Microsoft Security Essentials might require an activated version of Windows before you can use them (at least this happened in 7). I don't know if not having it activated will cause you problems down the line, so I recommend getting that fixed as soon as possible. Try contacting the seller and let them know the key you got doesn't work.

ALL "OEM" branded software has already been installed and activated on a pre-loaded "branded" (Dell, HP, etc) computer. OEM software is NOT intended for resale under any circumstances, and in the case of Windows OS software, will most likely NOT activate successfully... meaning BIG WASTE OF MONEY TO BUY!!Do NOT be fooled by the fact that it installs and all. Activation is the ultimate goal upon installation to determine if it is good or not!

The CPU is x64 based processor so I am going to take a wild guess, Yes Windows 8 should be 64bit as well otherwise it will not recognize the entire 4GB anyway but I highly doubt it will be Pro Edition... Most likely Home Edition. --Edit There is no such thing as Home, there is 8/8.1 and 8/8.1 Pro but it is comparable to the home vs pro in previous versions of Windows.

You meant to ask, if it is 1- OEM for builders 2- Retail Version Answer is "1" the OEM Retail versions are bought only to attain some pathetic and useless Microsoft support incident.

It is plug and play so should have no problem with any of the Windows operating systems. Windows comes with programs that will allow you to play and make CDs and DVDs,

You dont download anything, they give you the product key and you enter it into a Windows 8 PC to make it the pro version.

The one I received did NOT have a CD/DVD drive, and I did not expect it to, for my use, I don't need a CD/DVD drive, I've been living with out it just fine for a while now, my last laptop did have one, but I can probably recall using once or twice during the, believe it or not, 4 years that I had it with me...and yes, It is a 64 bit version of Windows 8, great machine by the way!

The EULA for this has been available for a while now at http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx and it says the following in regards to "Windows 8 Pro System Builder", which is as far as this license page is concerned the same as the OEM version (indicated by the selection made in the upper right of the screen): "Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you. You may also transfer the software (together with the license) to a computer owned by someone else if a) you are the first licensed user of the software and b) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement. To make that transfer, you must transfer the original media, the certificate of authenticity, the product key and the proof of purchase directly to that other person, without retaining any copies of the software. You may use the backup copy we allow you to make or the media that the software came on to transfer the software. Anytime you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the prior computer. You may not transfer the software to share licenses between computers. You may transfer Get Genuine Windows software, Pro Pack or Media Center Pack software only together with the licensed computer." So yes, you can transfer this license to a new computer. Yes, you can sell your copy as long as you provide all of the materials that came with it, including the proof of purchase. No, you cannot use it on more than one computer at a time. It seems quite straight forward to me.

Mine did not have Windows 7 activated. You had to jump thru some hoops with Windows to get them to accept your certification. I did get a CD with the Windows 7 app on it as well, which is a bonus. My refurbisher had pre-installed a bunch of stuff, including a free antivirus, a pdf reader, office , etc. I think some refurbishers are better than others. Mine seller was Vertex PC.

Yes. you can connect a DVD drive to the USB adapter to install the OS. Alternatively; You can also burn the DVD to an image and install from a USB drive (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/ss/install-windows-8-usb-tutorial.htm)
