I have a new W8 laptop and have acquired Windows 8.1 RTM. The install, unlike the W8 install, prompts me for a key. When I installed W8, the installer simply picked up the key stored in the BIOS, as there was no prompt.
Now, however, in 8.1, there is a prompt, and of course I have no way of obtaining the actual key in the BIOS. Is there a way to either force it to pick the key somehow, or is the true way to read the encrypted key in the BIOS so as to enter that at the prompt?
