The most literal and one-dimensional interpretation possible. We expect no less.

Plus, as evidenced fairly recently, if you were paying more attention and reading posts unlike my accused and learned friend Koswix you may have gleaned that it's better to leave the UEFI enabled.

I did read that, but does the sha1 hash not suggested content of said ISOs is the same, so how can the dodgey one accept your key but the download one not, if they are the same?

Further, a cursory Google suggests an OEM key can be used with a retail iso just fine.

OK, whatever. Instructions that came with the key said you couldn't use an OEM key to download an ISO from MS (you have to enter a valid RETAIL key to download), and to download the ISO from google drive instead. So I did, and when y'all started hollering about bots and whatnot I ran a shasum on the iso using MS's own hash and it matched. I guess I'll know in a few days if it's any good.
Your link you talks about using a COA for Home Premium key on a retail Home Premium disk, not an OEM Pro key on a retail Pro disk. So there's that.

Joined a botnet when he didn't even need to. He'll be expelled as a Russian diplomat shortly.

Ah, perhaps you just need the right key to download it then. I didn't know you needed that for the download, you don't need anything to download 8 or 10. I guess piracy was probably more of an issue with 7 (because people actually liked 7...)
