Hi,


Your Windows 8 64 bit key is embedded in BIOS chip on board.

On installation of EXACT SAME EDITION of Windows 8.1 64 bit by creating UEFI bootable USB using Microsoft windows media creation tool from following link, it should get activated AUTOMATICALLY while connected to internet

Please try this and report back.
