Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions. After the installation and during the Out Of the Box Experience (OOBE), you’ll be prompted again you enter a key and only here is when your Windows 8 key will work, however you can skip this step and do it later. If you cant find a sticker on the underside of your laptop, you can also find the model-part number by using Command Prompt. Now, I found another interesting trick that is documented by Microsoft and it will allow you bypass the product key screen and clean install Windows 8.1 using the ISO without the Windows 8 product key.
About few seconds later, you will see their product keys and product ID listed in the Product Key Finder. Product Key Finder begins to find Windows 8 product key and product ID and other software license keys. Short after this issue started popping up, I published a second guide to help users get through the installation, but this involved some online search to hunt down the “Windows 8.1 generic key”, serial number that would only let you continue, but after the installation you had to update your system with the Windows 8 retail product key you paid for. Step 1: Get Product Key Finder and install it on your computer. When I wrote the workaround to download the Windows 8.1 ISO from Microsoft was just half of the battle, many users were reporting that they couldn’t get past the first screen because the Windows 8.1 setup wouldn’t take the Windows 8 product key during a clean install.
