Install windows 8.1 pro from windows 8.1 DVD

[Gudradain]

I got a windows 8.1 DVD.

I'm building a new computer and want to install Windows 8.1 pro (student edition) on this new PC.

Could I use my windows 8.1 DVD and then enter the windows 8.1 pro key to install it or do I need to have a windows 8.1 pro DVD?

It won't work like that. The key needs to match that on the DVD. Best go to Microsoft's site and input the Product Key and that will validate a download of the appropriate version.
