Hi I have an ASUS X502c and this is my story or question.

It was pre-installed with windows 8 obviously I was a fan of window 7 and thought It was the best thing ever. So I uninstalled windows 8 with the recovery partition to install window 7. Now I want to re-install windows 8 because window 7 having problems right now with system restore and slow starting up(This still new even though I bought it on black Friday, only time I used it was for show a video in class which was twice.).Will it be like the original out of the box if I re-install the windows 8 with my friend CD. I dont have a product key since it didnt come with the sticker. So I think it is bios/motherboard so will I have to put it when reformatting it?(I also made a recovery CD before I reformat it if that helps)

tl;dr Wants to reinstall windows 8 again after installing window 7.

Ayyee coolio. Yeah, it was working with 7 for a while and now It doesn't seem too take a liking, but isnt the licensing embedded into bios. I don't Ill call in the morning.

Had the same problem I phoned Microsoft and they issued new key ,,,,,,,,,,,,8.1 is streets ahead of 8,,,,,,,,,,reinstalled from disk. I had no luck with any previous disk. Lucky I had made back ups of my pictures
