    Windows 8 Licensing: uninstall current 8.0 to install on new box?

    Hi, all! Searched around for a definitive answer on this, mostly just finding "yeah, give it a shot" as the result. I have a Win8 laptop (not Win8.1) that I will be selling. How do I go about de-licensing that installation so I can use it on a new laptop that I've just received? Thanks...
