What if she doesn't have internet? She honestly does not always have it available at home. So if she were to need to reinstall Windows on the same motherboard then when it asks for the key she would skip that and then assuming she selected the correct version of Windows (and this is why I'd like to store the key) then it would be activated once she connects to the internet. I dunno how to write a key there, though, as I've never had any reason to bother. You are actually correct: the key is stored in the BIOS. For the OEM-keys it really is as easy as I just mentioned, though. I've always just bought those OEM-version keys, since they cost like 10€. That's how it already works 1 Windows generated a UUID for the PC, then sends that off to Microsoft's activation-servers and then, if you have to reinstall Windows on that PC, you don't have to re-enter the key as the installer will detect that "hey, this UUID has already had a successful activation earlier on, let's just re-use it again." It's really handy.ġ) I'm not sure if this applies to the non-OEM Windows.
