Just be sure to use the disc with the version of Win 8 that came with your system (Win 8 Core x86/圆4 or Win 8 Pro x86/圆4) The upside, you can now use any Windows 8 install disc (retail or RTM) to reinstall windows. The SLIC 3.0 gets rid of the Master Serial and instead, takes the serial that use to come on your Genuine Windows sticker, and embeds it in your motherboards firmware. With the old SLIC 2.0 which used the master serial system, once you got our hands on a OEM Windows install disc, it would automagically work on any other PC made by that OEM. Windows 8 uses the new SLIC 3.0 standard for OEMs to preinstall system with Windows 8. If a system that came with an OEM copy of Windows 8 had a hard drive failure, or you decided to change your disc drive and you need to reinstall Windows, it may be easier to do than you think.
