I just hope that something can overcome the fact that I'm completely unable to find anything like an installation key, and the restore process doesn't even ask for a key. I can't use my wife's key, of course -- she needs her computer, too.
Restore incorporates the vendor's generic key, because it's putting the system back into the condition it existed in when delivered. Micro$oft requires vendors to affix the key sticker to the outside of the machine as a license condition. If you bought that machine new and such sticker is not affixed and not removed by you or under your authority, you have some complaining to do upstream. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
