You need to locate the windows 8 licence key.  Is it noted somewhere in the laptop paperwork or on the bottom of the laptop

[REDACTED]

It's not on the bottom of the laptop, but it might be in the paperwork. Will reinstalling Win-10 do the job, or is Windows 8 crucial?

[REDACTED]

Can't log it in now, keyboards not working... Ayressae here. Will a product key be in the box?

It depends on whether you are happy using a tech preview that may break the system hence the warning when you download it

Download and install the preview only if you
Want to try out software that’s still in development and like sharing your opinion about it.
Don’t mind lots of updates or a UI design that might change significantly over time.
Really know your way around a PC and feel comfortable troubleshooting problems, backing up data, formatting a hard drive, installing an operating system from scratch or restoring your old one if necessary.
Know what an ISO file is and how to use it.
Aren't installing it on your everyday computer.
We're not joking about the expert thing. So if you think BIOS is a new plant-based fuel, Tech Preview may not be right for you.

Will Fedora from boot work?
