Nw problem -I have a lot of Dell Latitude 10 ST2 tablets
As in my previous post, these were donated to the thrift store from our church school. Guess they upgraded all their tablets for the kids.
Problem I'm seeing now is install is not reading the key from BIOS. I've only tried two tablets so far, and both installed but I had to use the generic 8.0 Pro key (turns out they are pro, not home or core or whatever they were called in 8.0 days).
I even ran ShowkeyPlus and it said OEM Key not present in firmware. These tablets came with Windows 8.0 Pro installed so the key should be embedded in BIOS. Any idea what is going on?
Is this some kind of a KVM/VLK thing between Dell and the school? If so that's going to put the kibosh on 70 tablets to sell from the thrift store which would be a real bummer.
I'll talk to their tech guy but I don't have a lot of hope as he said he didn't know how to reload the tablets to wipe existing data.
I have the official Windows 8 for Dell flash drive that I used to reinstall Win 8.0 but it still didn't read the key from BIOS. Tried Win 8.1 Pro also, same problem.
