Ah, now at least I understand what you're trying to communicate. The problem is not that I have no mechanism to change the Product Key. The problem is, I don't *have* a Product Key. Windows 8 OEM does not ship with a Product Key or Certificate Of Authenticity. The license information is embedded in the machine's firmware. To review: I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows. The machine shipped with Win 8 Home OEM. All I have for Win 8 media is Pro edition. Win 7 let you install any edition from most media. E.g., the Win 7 Pro VLM let you install Win 7 Home. It appears Win 8 made a step backwards in this area. -- Ben
