Win8 Open Class: How to activate genuine system after reloading

Author: Mayon

If the improper use of computer systems might cause a crash, but the most direct way to encounter this situation is to reinstall the system. For genuine Win8 users, there is also a reactivation issue. In this issue of "Win8 Open Class" we will talk about some aspects of Win8 activation.

We know that Win8 is upgraded and installed in China this time. It is no longer installed through CD or other media, but needs to use the “Win8 Upgrade Assistant”. With the Win8 Upgrade Assistant, users can go straight to the process of purchasing genuine serial numbers and installing the system.

Buying Product Keys

So there is usually no problem with activation during Win8 installation, but reinstalling the system is a bit different.

There are some things that are very important here, we have to come up and say it separately. That is when we first use "Win8 upgrade assistant", when installing Win8, the system will download a Win8 installer to our computer, this file must be saved, reload it depends on it.

This program is very important

If you have lost this program, don't worry, you can download it again when we purchase Win8's receipt email. You can make it into a CD or a USB stick and then you can use it as a Win8 installation disk.

Re-downloading the installer

When we need to reinstall the system, you can use the CD or U disk to start the program directly. This program has skipped the initial purchase interface, the first step we have to do is to enter the product key, and then the normal installation steps.

Enter the product key when reloading

After the final installation is complete, enter a key on the computer information page to activate and complete the new activation.

Activate again

But for the user of the preset Win8 notebook, you don't have to worry about it. Because the OEMs now write the Win8 activation code into the BIOS, the user just reloads it. The system is automatically activated.
