We’ve run into an interesting dilemma at work.  We have a brand new laptop with Windows 8, that we need to install an SSD hard drive in, and then reload the current Windows 8 license onto.  And we actually aren’t sure how to go about this…  The laptop has no optical drive and didn’t come with install media of any sort other than a recovery partition (i imagine).  The most confusing part is that there is no License Key on the machine.

I guess we’re going to try to retrieve the current license key using some program.  Then we just need to find a usb version of the install media to use.  Unless anyone has some bright insights for me 🙂
