Question How To Date Lifespan of a Windows PC? Question How to group drastically different Windows files separately ? how to reinstall windows with product key I paid for

Or is it possible that the laptop come from factory without an OS? ( but has sticker on the back) I don't know nothing about this laptop's history but:įrom what I saw on the forums windows doesn't asks for your product key because that is stored in the bios.Ĭould the key be erased from BIOS or used on another laptop? I found a program that finds your product key (Produkey I think) but the key that was found doesn't work.

(After a looking on microsoft forums for a while i managed to find a link that goes directly to win8 iso download, but the first thing that the setup asks is your product key in order to start the download).Īfter that I tried with the win 8.1 iso from the microsoft website, and still the same, asks from product key. I bought an ASUS S200E laptop a two weeks ago which came with win 8.1 installed but on the back has the Win8 sticker, so I assume that the original win version that the laptop came from factory is win8.Īnyway, I wanted to perform a fresh install of windows 8 but apparently win8 iso is not available anymore to download on microsoft website.
