You can simply do an in-place Reset and Restore which will effectively accomplish the same thing. The good news is you don’t really need the Product Key if all you want to do is perform a clean installation of Windows 8.1.
This was a deliberate change that Microsoft made in order to prevent the theft and illegitimate use of OEM Product Keys (I won’t go into the method used by the thieves here, but it was incredibly simple). As you have discovered, the Product Keys for Windows 8 and 8.1 are not printed on stickers anymore. Can you please, please, please tell me where to find it? I have already created my Recovery Media. I want to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 so I need the Product Key.
But this one doesn’t have it printed anywhere as far as I can tell, and I’ve looked everywhere! I have owned four other laptops prior to this one and they have always had the Windows Product Key printed on a label on the bottom of the case. Where in the world can I find the Windows Product Key on my HP laptop? I have what is probably the silliest question you have ever heard.
