My mother bought a samsung notebook, which came with Windows 8 original version installed. There is a adhesive for windows 8 confirmation on it. I can send a video of it, but I wanted to change it to Windows 7, installed on my computer that I was used to. So, I made a backup of my Windows 7 and tried to install it on my notebook. Unfortunatelly, I deleted all from the notebook and forgot to take the serial key or to change my partition table from GPT to MBR, so I can't install Windows 7.

I only want to recover my Windows 8 serial key, so I can re-install it , change the partition table to MEG and install Windows 7!

PS: Sorry for my bad english.
