Windows 8.1 PRO Build 9600 Product Key.

Hi,

If Windows came preinstalled, use this tool to find the key:

http://neosmart.net/OemKey/

A product I.D. doesn't help and you can't associate a product key with a product ID.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The Product Key consists of 25 digits, divided into 5 groups of 5 digits and the layout looks like this:

xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

The 24 used are:

2346789BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY

The 12 unused are:

015AEILNOSUZ

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Product ID: 00178 - 10308-97308-AA963

If Windows came preinstalled this is how it works:

Activate Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 - Windows Help - Microsoft Support

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

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:
