Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to hdd change
I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with Windows 8 64-bit, later the hdd developed some problems and as I had warranty , they replaced it with a new one however this one came with a Win 8 32-bit which was not activated. Now , I had the product key from last win 8 that I had so I tried using that to activate but an error came up which said something like "The key provided is not for this edition of windows , Either use the windows 8 setup or enter a windows 8 activation key." So this made sense as the key I had was for a 64 bit win 8 , so I installed win 8 64-bit from an image file and then I repeated the same procedure of entering the key and the same error came up again. So I would request you people to please help me with this, as I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.
