you don't need the product key, you need to activate you windows by using online activation system or call your local Microsoft call center and they will activate it for you for free, my advice is to remove windows 8 and install windows 7 much faster at this laptop, that what I did but you need someone how is really good at formatting computers... I hope that helpful

None. You have to buy the OS separately and install it. I installed Windows 8 via a USB CD-ROM drive. There is an option to install it via USB flash drive as well - bing it to get instructions.

I think the problem here is your installation file. I installed through usb boots. Download the file at microsoft website, then install and then buy the key

The keys represent shortcuts to Windows 8 properties, settings, or views. Once familiar with Win 8, it should be fairly self-explanatory. Watch a demo vid here (copy and paste) http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/sculpt-comfort-keyboard . Or try http://lmgtfy.com/?q=microsoft+sculpt+keyboard+instructions . :)

No product key is assigned to each software it will either not complete the installation or crash upon use sorry have tried with other products

Since I used this product successfully on Windows 7, I have no idea of its operation with Windows 8. Sorry.

You can download the FREE Belarc advisor software and it will reveal the Windows product key.

I got it for a Windows 8 installation - at the time of the purchase they did not have the driver I have t checked in a while though

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

Look on the paper slip cover the Windows 8 disc was in or on the labeling on the computer case. I am out of town and can't remember what the setup was.

The one I received had a "legal" product key... meaning it was accepted by Microsoft when I activated the installation ...

Mine came loaded with Windows 7, but it has an official Windows 8 sticker on the bottom. Win 8 may be included somehow, but I'm just not interested enough to find out where.

AnonyMouse,When facing the front of the system, look on the side panel to your right. In the top corner nearest the front, you will find a label. This is the Certificate of Authenticity or "COA". The product key is located on the label. If you have any other questions, or need assistance in activating Windows, please contact our friendly Customer Service Team; they will gladly assist you.

If I remember correctly, Windows 8 Pro product key is encrypted in BIOS. You can't see it (you see it only in BIOS in encrypted format). You never know the actual product key number and you will never lose it because it's on the chip in the computer. Windows 8 Pro software will pull it from there automatically when you install Windows 8 Pro from the disks provided in the package. Windows 7 Pro is currently installed through Windows 8 Pro Microsoft Downgrade Rights Licensing Program.

I have not installed Windows 8 on any of my systems. I can not provide any knowledgable answer.
