On Acer Aspire V3 model, Windows 8 recovery partition could not complete a fresh installation. It kept stumbling on error; it seems corrupted though I check the disk for erros/bad sectors and did not find any.

Acer support also didn't help and said the laptop is out of warranty. And with these new laptops, Windows key is embedded in the UEFI.

So I followed the instruction on this: And used the Windows installation media maker from windows website and gave it a generic key. So I did a clean Windows 8.1 installation (trial with the generic key). But Windows 8.1 did NOT accept my key that I recovered from UEFI using rw-everything.

Is there something I did wrong? I tried to match the Windows installation media to what was previous installed on the laptop. I bought a laptop with an OS on it and now I lost it. I am lost between Microsoft and Acer.
