Two issues with that:
1. What if they bring you the computer and it doesn't power up anymore. Can't run jelly bean. 2. I've tried this in the past with xp and 7. They key it finds is a key that never works for me. Its like a volume key the manufacturer uses. I've tried OEM, Retail, VL...none work. Please correct me if I did something incorrectly.

Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 23:06:10 +0000 I believe this has been discussed before but I can't find it in my archives. Since laptops don't come with a W8 COA, what happens when we have to reinstall Windows on it? Where do we get the OEM serial numbers from? Lets pretend the computer is out of warranty and the manufacture won't send us install media and a key.
