YMMV, but it works on the Thinkpads I own.
- dangrossman 14y agoFrom what I've read, Windows 8 machines do not have stickers on them with product keys. There are tons of forum posts on the web of people trying to do clean installs then realizing this fact. I honestly don't know how activation works now.
