Hi,
For your information, I bought my Asus laptop last year that came with Windows 7 Pro.
I'm planning to upgrade to Windows 8 this coming October, however, it seems they require me to provide the windows product key.
I download a software called: "Key Finder" to find my windows key, and to my surprise, it's different from the one (the sticker) at the bottom of my laptop. Later, I found out that the key(from the Key FInder) was actually an OEM key for all Asus laptops.
Now, if I want to upgrade to Windows 8 later, should I provide the OEM product key or the product key from the bottom of my laptop?
One more question, do I have a choice to format my hard disk before installation if I purchase the upgrade version?
Thanks
