Hi, I have an Acer Aspire V5 Notebook, about one year old. I really didnt like Windows 8 so, i dicided to downgrade to Windows 7. So, i formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 7. But, i was so dumb, that i didnt even think about the product key. So, i dicided to upgrade to 8 again, but i need the win 8 key!!!! It aint somewhere on the computer, no sticker. It is in the bios somewhere and i cant find it. I need the key during the upgrade. I have tried a several programs to find the key, but none of them worked. Please help me!!!

(sorry for my bad english)
 
its likely you wont need a new 1 as a lot of lappys have there keys stored in bios so they auto enter it when they detect a fresh install of windows.
so install win 8 and let it boot into windows then go to system and see if the key is entered and shows as genuine.
 

theres no need for star8 any more mate win 8.1 is in the microsoft store for free and it has the old start button.
