Hello,
Just got a new Gateway laptop with windows 8 (not pro) pre-installed. They didn't give me a product key so I believe it's embedded in the bios as I've read. I want to make the laptop a multi-boot and need to reinstall win8. I have a Windows 8 Pro install disk & memory stick from another PC.
Can I use the Windows 8 Pro install disk I already have to reinstall Windows 8 (not pro) on my new laptop?
Will I need to retrieve my product key with a utility or will the windows 8 setup retrieve it automatically for me?
Thanks
