    hello,I have Acer laptop running genuine windows 8 that was preinstalled. Along with laptop I also got MS office home and business 2013 intended for distribution with new pc with a serial number sticker separately. I have installed the package and activated with the serial key . Now after 6 years of using the same laptop upgraded to windows 8.1 with genuine OS and Office package I was very happy with Microsoft Corporation for their wonderful service and software. Recently I feel a bit slow and C:\ has lots of junk file folder also takes very long time to startup , so I decided to form

    OEM Product Key - Tool Available To Reveal It

    Newer PCs and laptops shipping with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 no longer come with a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back or bottom of the PC. Instead, PC manufacturers have worked with Microsoft to embed the product key directly into the BIOS or EFI.
    If you need to retrieve the OEM-embedded product key from your PC, you can use this OEM product key utility to extract and show the product key programmed into your PC. Absolutely no user interaction is required, you just run the download and it immediately displays the detected product key. This product key can be used to reinstall Windows 10 and Windows 8 with a clean Windows setup CD to remove bloatware installed by the manufacturer, or to reinstall Windows after a crash or system failure.

    product key for windows 8 that I have lost

    hello, my friend. thank you for your answer.

    My laptop doesn't have a sticker label for OEM key. Is there a way to recover my previous product key with the serial number?

    Using OEM Windows 8 on another laptop

    No, you can't use it to do that.

    If the Laptop/Computer came with the Windows Operating System preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc) , that Product Key that came with the Laptop/Computer is for the preinstalled OEM License
    and is non-transferable.

    The OEM License/Product Key (preinstalled Operating Systems on Dell, HP, etc machines) is tied to the first machine it is installed on and dies when that machine dies.

    The above rule also applies to OEM System Builders Licenses.

    Retail Operating System License, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    But Retail Licenses can also only be installed on one machine at any particular time.
