"bought it cheap"

Surely that shouldn't matter as long as it's new and from a proper retailer?

"Bought it cheap" sounds worrying.  Alarm bells were already ringing when you said it didn't have a Windows Licence on it anywhere. I'm pretty sure PC manufacturers can't sell full Windows based machines without a licence these days.

Depends what version of Windows.  Windows 8 comes with the key in the BIOS now.  I looked high and low for my key last night and ended up having to get a program to extract it out of the BIOS.
