i want to clean install win 8 on my new lenovo, i have heard that OEM key is stored in the bios and is automatically applied on a clean install. so i decided to save the OEM CERTIFICATE using a software called SLIC TOLKIT 3.2.
but it shows that, SLIC STATUS = INVALIDATED, and an error - "No OEM Certificate found".
i have downloaded windows 8 file from internet- en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso .should i proceed with a clean install, or i have to install an OEM CERTIFICATE ?
in control panel- system, it shows windows is activated. i am also not able to use windows 8 recovery features, like refresh or restore. all these errors started when i created a third partition in windows. then i repaired the boot menu through bios by using -
bcdboot c:\windows /s g: /f UEFI
can i clean install windows 8?
