    Windows 8 Removing hidden partition with Windows 8 on it...

    My Acer-V5 laptop has a hidden partition with Windows 8 on it. I ran Jelly-Bean Finder and got my 25 digit serial number. Could I get/download a copy of Windows 8, use MY serial number, and wipe the whole drive? Then install Windows 8, without any hidden partition? I want to do all this...
