Hi, I just bought a brand new HP desktop with Windows 8.1 installed. However, there is a lot of blootware with the OS and the recovery disk would just add the blootware along with 8.1. So I would like to buy a retail version of Windows 8.1 and do a clean install. However, I was wondering if it would be able to be installed on my new computer because the BIOS has the HP OS key in it. Would that prevent the new retail version of Windows from being installed? Thanks,
Larry
