How to bypass product key while installing Windows 8
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 08/22/2012
Windows Valley posted a tip about bypass the product key wizard while performing a Windows 8 installation

Microsoft has released Windows 8 to MSDN/TechNet subscribers and few other channels starting from August 15th. Few weeks ago; I got lucky to lay hands on it and I noticed that Windows 8 doesn’t allow keyless installation, like Windows 7, by default.

But after doing some R&D I have found a way to bypass the product key wizard while performing the installation. And in this article, you’ll learn how to suppress product key prompt while installing Windows 8.

Note: The following method is effective, legal, and does not requires a lot of technical expertise.

Thanks

With win7 you had to eliminate [rename/delete] ei.cfg if you wanted a menu where you could choose the win7 version to install [why store separate setup discs for each version?]. The article talks about creating rather than getting rid of the file -- interesting.
