MagicAndre1981 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Simply put the DVD in the drive and run setup. It will detect the key:http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithcombs/archive/2012/11/16/windows-8-bios-keys-embedded-goodness.aspxThe good news is that you no longer have to worry about it fading or getting scratched. The 5x5 key is embedded in the BIOS. Therefore all I had to do in order to install a fresh clean copy of Windows 8 was attach an external DVD drive, boot from the retail DVD, and run setup. As soon as I connected to the internet, the machine activated. It never asked me for a key. No fuss!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
