so i've noticed that new laptops shipped with windows 8 don't have a licence key, just what appears to be a readable chip or nfc device.
now a customer was interested in a new laptop with windows 8 and wanted to replace the hdd with an ssd, which at first seemed like an easy task.
now i'm not entirely sure what on earth to do, hard drives fail a lot from falling or impact damage and with no licence key how does one go about replacing and installing the operating system on one of these computers?
any info/advice or insight into this would be great.
thanks all.

edit: thread now resolved , however there is some great tips and advice and knowledge about the licence key info that is worth reading.
thanks to everyone.
