I am trying to take a preloaded operating system from newegg on the laptop i just purchased and put it on a SSD that I purchased to slightly upgrade my system. How would I go about transferring the OS with no product key or install CD?

1. find the product key like SR-71 said
2. do a clean install of windows 8.1 on your new harddrive (ssd).
3. Do the phone activation when comes the time to activate.

This does not work. It seems like the version of windows is trapped to the bios or something.
