With Windows 8/8.1 The Product Key on preinstalled Operating Systems (HP, Acer, etc) is embedded in the BIOS in the Motherboard, so that the lost and/or worn C.O.A. Sticker problem is no more.
When you reinstall it will pick up the Product Key and activate the system automatically.
If it does not, follow these steps:

Hi,
My laptop HP envy touchsmart 4 ultrabook came preinstalled with windows 8. I did a clean installation by mistake wiping out all my data and drivers when i tried to install ubuntu to dualboot alongside windows. I need the OEM version of windows 8 that came preinstalled with the laptop so as to use the serial key embedded in my BIOS.
Please comment with any links available to download the .iso file.
Thank You

The file size is too large to download at one go without the internet getting disconnected. Is there any way to download the file from google drive with an option of pause and resume like a torrent.

Keep trying, that's all I can tell you. It took me 5 or 6 tries but it finally worked. If you have your product key from a machine that had Windows 8 preinstalled this is the ISO you want because it WILL validate with your original key. Use MyKeyFinder from abelssoft to get your original embedded key.

That is the one you want and here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?pli=1
is the link to google drive to download it. It takes a long time and it may fail several times, but keep trying because this one WILL work and validate with your embedded key. Also, use MyKeyFinder from abelssoft to get your original key You may also need to get some of your driver files from HP driver downloads. It helps if you have the HP product name of the machine you are working on.

Hi thank you for you posts and advice!
I've just donwloaded mykeyfinder and found my laptops/win 8 key. I have also downloaded the iso posted above.
Should I now create a bootable usb or can I burn it to disk and install that way?

Also, will this just activate automatically once on line or do I need to take any other steps?
Thanks in advance!
