Hi:
Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below that will show you the Windows product key in the BIOS and the version of Windows the key is good for.
Post the results of the report without the product key.
For example, this is the report result from my PC.
OEM Edition: Win 8.1 RTM Professional OEM:DM
