I have a Lenovo k410 desktop that started with Windows 8.0. Then I added the Windows 8.0 Professional Feature pack.
Then the machines was upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Now I need to run a Windows Repair (not refresh or reset) which requires a Windows Install USB Flash drive or dvd.
When I try to run the Windows 8.1 create installation media here:

It requires the Windows 8.1 Product Key which I do not have.
I then found what I thought was the same tool for Windows 8.0, when I tried that utility and entered the Windows 8.0 Professional Feature pack Product Key, it would not allow me to proceed because it does not support feature packs.
I don't know the original product key, I cannot figure out how to get this out of the bios.
Questions:
1) Would anyone know how to get the original Windows 8.0 product key out of the bios?
2) Would anyone have other ideas on how I can complete a repair?
