Windows 8 key from BIOS

This is a tutorial on extracting windows 8 setup keys from BIOS which is embedded by the manufacturer as part of shipping the computer bundled with the windows operating system

Requirements-
You must be running windows 7 or 8, any version, either x86 or x64 will do
You must own a computer with an embedded windows license key

Now, as we know the key in the BIOS is always encrypted to be retrieved by windows during time of installation, however if the key that is displayed does not match the key from your windows, it only means that the manufacturer has used an encryption type that is different from the standard issued by Microsoft.


Step 1> Download RWEverything from here => click here for x86

Step 2> Unzip the file

Step 3> Once unziped, run the file "RW.exe" as administrator






















Step 4> Once the program is run, click on the button ACPI and browse to the tab named MSDM
