donnydi · ‎03-01-2013

Acer 5600u 64 bit pre installed windows 8, I know it is stored in the bios UEFI but how do I get the 25 digit product key. Key recovery software don't work, so I hope someone out there can help.

As you state, it is pre-installed in the BIOS. It is not retrievable.

If you are using the factory load, it is not necessary to have the Product Key.
