WIN + PAUSE | under View basic information about your computer, in the Windows Activation section--
You will see Windows is activated (if you have activated Win 8) and you will see your Product ID (which is NOT your 25 character Product Key).
Click on View details in Windows Activation, you will see:
Current Edition, for example, Windows 8 Pro

Activated on which shows the date of activation
Click on the Add Features button to upgrade your edition.
Click on Buy Windows for another computer to get the opportunity to buy WIN 7.
YEP, that’s what that link presently does. I’ll keep checking to see if that link gets updated.
