I download windows 8.1 to a USB using the Microsoft media creation tool. it was the 64 bit, core version. I installed it to my computer, but i didn't have a key at the time, so i did the ei.cfg trick. Here's what I put...

And it worked. Later on a few days, my package of the windows disk and key came in. I didn't need the disk, only the key. So i went to the windows activate screen and put in the key. It told me the key wasn't for this version of windows. I looked and the key was for Windows 8.1 Pro. Weird, i bought this on amazon from a trusted seller, it didn't say what version it was, oh well. I tried to do the add windows features thing from the system, but it said the key wasn't correct. What should I do? I don't have a disk drive on my computer.
