run two windows 8.1 machines on the same key temporarily?

[robbym]

About to install windows 8.1 on a new computer. I have it already installed on an old computer and i was wondering if i could have both running with the same key (temporarily) and activate with a new key later, is that an option, what do you guys suggest?

No, you can not use the same key on two computers at the same time.

So do i format my old hard drive or uninstall windows, what?

As far as I know, microsoft is hungry for money, so you getter pay up for a new Windows 8.1
