Hi guys,
So I've got a E5-571 that I had to wipe using Acer's recovery software. I choose the full wipe option which reset my computer back to factory conditions. Unfortunately, my computer is now telling me I need to activate my copy of windows. I used to Belarc advisor to pull my product key, but Windows is saying that key didnt work. Additionally I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro from my school and tried that key and it didnt work. Would buying Acer's recovery media and using that allow me to have a activated copy of windows? Or alternatively, if I installed the Windows 8 from my school and used their product key, would that work?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
