Reset windows 8 and but did not get the correct product key.

Hi all.

I bought a used HP Pavilion desktop computer and decided that it would be better to reset factory settings before you start using it. Unfortunately, I made and then found I don't have the product key of Windows 8 for it, and no more than the seller. The reset process is to half-way through, but I'm not sure how to do this when I get to the part where it asks for the key. Nightmare!

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

See you soon

Andy

You should not be asked for a product key because you used the factory reset to reinstall Windows 8.

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.
