I just bought a new HP laptop (HP450) and it came with windows 7 installed, but a disc for windows 8. I was able to recover the cd key for 7 using jellybean, but I'm not sure how to get the key for 8 as there is no sticker of any kind on the laptop. I assume the key is on partition of the hard drive, but how do I get the key from this area?

If you mean w7 and w8 uses the same key, then no. Instead of trying to figure out how to get it off the partition (which might just be the w7 recovery and no 8 info), a simple call/chat with hp will get you the keys that go to your laptop.
