BIOS-Embedded Windows 8 Product Key

Microsoft itself is much of this benefit. In the past, people used to share product keys. This increased the opportunities of copyright infringement and piracy. However, if the activation data are embedded in the BIOS , can not be used by another computer. This will reduce piracy cases and data exchange activation.

 

Disadvantages of establishing product keys in BIOS

 

The fact that activation details will not be used for any other team could be disadvantageous for some users. For example , if the PC or laptopmotherboard dies or fails, the operating system dies with it . This means they can not try to reinstall the system after replacing the motherboard. This is because the details of activation were locked in the original BIOS.

 

In addition , each key is attached to a PC. Therefore, if a PC dies, and the owner is forced to buy a new one , will have to buy another operating system as well. They will not be able to use the installation disc you already have in this new team .
