@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
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 or you have activation problems, follow these steps:

We don't work for Microsoft to activate it for you.
And I had already advised you how to contact them, which was the main part of my earlier reply.
