So I downloaded the Install for windows 8.1 Pro and it opened up but when I enter the key I got from the $14 thing way back when MS was offering it I get a messages that says this product key didn't work. Check it and try again. So Do I have to install windows 8 and then Windows 8.1? or what. Seems like a windows 8 key should work fine.
I'm using the ones on this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
Install 8 first. Something about it will make it take the key. Mine wouldn't take the Windows 8 Pro key until I upgraded to 8.1 though. Really freaking weird...
