Hello guys.
I am considering buying a new laptop. The model I've found and I like has an HDD disc though and I want to replace it with the formatted SSD from my previous laptop. (Due to lower power consumption, greater speed, etc). So I already have an 256gb SSD from my previous laptop ready replace the new HDD one, yet what is going to happen with my Official and Activated Windows 8 that I'll have purchased with the laptop?
I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD but I won't have a key to Activate them... How will I be able to get the previous Serial Key if laptops work only with partition recovery these days? I've asked a guy in the store I'll buy my laptop from and he told me he doesn't know and that I'll have to ask for Support. However to create a Support message I need a model serial number that I don't have since I haven't bought the laptop yet, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HDD but also I can't afford another model.
Is it possible to make a Recovery disk with my laptop when I get it, then replace the disk with my SSD and run the recovery disk I've made?
The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps....
Thanks in advance....
