I'm working on a friends Dell PC. First time working with or on Windows 8.
After much aggravation with the locked Hard Drive (which I never figured out), I used an Windows 8 ISO, which would not allow me to "Repair", so after many attempts I clicked the Install and now the PC wants the Product Key for 8. But the old one is still good for months.
I called Dell to get it, but they won't give it out and want us to buy a new disc.
Priority right now is the Product Key.
But help with the locked HDD won't hurt.
Thanks much, Trina
