Fresh Install
I have Windows 8.1 it came with my Alienware Laptop. I have recently installed Windows 10 TP accidentally overwriting my install of Windows 8.1. (I have all my personal files saved to other drives connected to the laptop so fresh installs mean nothing is lost). After realizing I installed Windows 10 TP over my windows 8.1 copy, I proceeded to contact Alienware to get a copy of Windows 8.1 for my PC. They didn't know the serial number or whatever and couldn't do jack sh*t because I was out of warranty. So I went off and torrented windows 8.1. Havent torrented an OS since windows 7 back when i had the Vista nightmare.
So, I am asking, if there is a program out there that can get the Serial Key for Windows 8.1, or if I am able to do a fresh install of Windows 10 when that comes out. I do fresh installs for the already know reasons. Upgrading is just blah, an what happens later int he PC's life when I need to do a fresh install anyways.
I just want to know if Windows 10 will come with a Key, because that would be awesome.
