I used a windows 8 OEM edition disk to install windows 8 onto my self built PC. I created a recovery disk once installed, and subsequently lost it (like you do).
My pc is now running hopelessly slowly. If I try to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the OEM disk will it allow me to? I know you can only install it on one computer, but how will it know that I am installing it on the same pc, rather than a different one with the same motherboard? Does the motherboard have a unique ID that it uses or something?
Thanks
