Hello,
I'm in a twist and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.
I bought a new laptop with Win8 pre-installed (and immediately updated it to 8.1).
I decided after a week to buy an SSD and installed Win8.
I now find there is no product key to be found, and can't seem to activate Windows.
1. I've tried a few things. I tried to enable UEFI in PC Settings, but the setting isn't there (does this mean my laptop doesn't support UEFI?)
2. I entered my BIOS. CWM was enabled, and pwe enable. But SECURE BOOT disabled. So I enabled SECURE BOOT, but regardless of what options I select, the laptop keeps booting into the [Legacy] BIOS, possible because there are no BOOT OPTION PRIORITIES found any longer?
And where I'm at. My problem is activating windows, and if UEFI is an option, enabling it.
