Where is Windows product key stored? On previous Windows, you can find a sticker with printed Windows product key on a sticker on the side of your desktop computer or on the back your laptop. Also, after the Windows is registered, the Windows product key is stored in the registry file. However, on Windows 8/8.1 laptop, you maybe cannot find the sticker with Windows product key. Even, the Windows product key is not stored in the Windows registry file. The OEM Windows 8/8.1 product key may be stored on the BIOS.
I have looked around on my laptop and inside of the package I purchased with it, and it has come with no CD Key or recovery cd. Further, even though this is straight from the distributer, the standard asus recover partition is inaccessible (maybe removed.) I went to bestbuy today, and they said I could pay $114 for someone to reset my computer with the reset disk they for some dumb reason did not include with my pc.
Windows 8 Product Key Asus Laptop
Some of the new laptops hide the product key inside the battery compartment.Some of the new laptops have 2 different recovery disk creation mechanisms - one being the PC manufacturer's utility and the other being the Win8 "Create a Recovery Drive" utility. I can't recall if Asus is one of those or not (we only make the Win8 one's at work).
I have the product key of the latest windows 10 Pro version (July) which is a retail version. I want to ask that if I want to transfer the license key to d new machine all I need to do is to uninstall the product key and write down d key whenever they demand during installation in the new laptop. Am I right Andre? Will it be activated automatically on my new machine since I have used d key of the latest version of d windows 10?

A computer bought some years ago with Windows 8 home, upgraded to Windows 10 home (free upgrade from Microsoft), and running now Windows 10 Pro. If I need downgrade again to Windows 10 Home. Did I lose the original licence after upgrade to windows 10 pro, or can I reinstall Windows 10 home and recover the original licence of the laptop?
For Windows to work properly, users must first activate it using a product key, which is a 25-character code that must be entered to verify that Windows has not been used on more computers than the terms of the Microsoft Software License. Asus is introducing a limited-edition version of Windows 10, the Windows 10 S, as part of its product line. You do not need a product key to use Windows 10, and the operating system employs a digital license to activate it. Windows, Chrome OS, and MacOS are the most widely used operating systems on laptops. The Asus VivoPC does not come with a Windows operating system preinstalled.
To locate your Windows product key on an ASUS laptop, you will need to access the BIOS menu. To do this, press the F2 key when the ASUS logo appears on your screen during startup. Once you are in the BIOS menu, navigate to the System Information page and your Windows product key will be listed under the Serial Number field.
As we know, Microsoft stops placing stickers on the preinstalled Windows 8, but some manufactures still place stickers (includes product key) on the PC or laptop. Check the cover of the desktop PC or laptop.
I have the same Asus vivobook as Chris, and I have the same exact issue. My laptop is about 1.5 yrs old, and it all started some months after getting the free windows 10 upgrade. Although mine, somehow, after several attempts at keeping the turn off button pressed and waiting around 10-15mins it does turn on. I have no idea how to fix it... I sent emails to ASUS and I am still waiting on a response.

It is not clear if this change was an attempt to cut down on piracy or rather a simplification of the installation process. I would bet the latter since the same installation media is actually used for both the standard and pro editions of Windows 8. Depending on the product key entered the correct edition is installed. I can imagine there were users of Windows 7 that complained when they installed the wrong edition by mistake which they could not activate with their key and had to re-install windows and all their apps.
