Hi,
If I completely uninstall Windows 8 on my laptop *AND* replace it with another operating system, will my windows key be lost?
I could do this easy enough back when my windows key was printed on a sticker under the laptop or battery, but now that it's encrypted into the BIOS, I worry that by installing another OS, I could be losing the ability to reinstall my official version of Windows.
I know that I could dual boot, but that isn't what I'm looking to do.
Thanks for your time
