  Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

  In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

  They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

  For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

• Change the product key with a Windows 8.1 apdate

  I WANT 4 - 1130us I've had for about 1 year and it came with pre-installed Windows 8.  I've since updated to Windows 8. 1.

  On the screen: System control panel - system and safety - is a link to "Get more features with a new edition of Windows".  When I select it it then requires a product key.  Belerac using the product key appears as being for Windows 8.1 (x 64).  I enter the product key, but it is rejected as invalid.

  I'm doing something wrong?

  The product key there with the update in 8.1?  If so, how di I find my key windows 8.1?

• I need a product key to install windows.

  My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. I have the disk to reinstall windows 8. now he asks me the product key, there is no product key on the disc. I lost the manual that came with the system. During this time, I don't have access to the internet until I have install windows. Thank you.

  What do you mean you 'assume' it was Windows 8?  You don't know?  It is 8 or 8.1?  Because it seems that the original system was destroyed on the functional level, and because versions OEM of Windows 8 and 8.1 have incorporated into BIOS product key, you will need either to obtain assistance from the manufacturer of the computer or, more likely, buy a license.
