How to remove an OEM key from a stock laptop HDD?
Back in 2013, a Lenovo z500 laptop was purchased with Win 8 on board.
After the purchase, I immediately put an SSD in it, and began to use my native HDD as a file dump. But it was not possible to format it completely - two partitions are protected, as they are recovery partitions.
Now I am ripe to finally put this disk in order, for which it is necessary to delete all partitions, including protected ones. Based on this, it also became interesting - is it possible to pull out the key before deleting partitions? And can it be used on a new SSD?
Well, about deleting these partitions - will everything work out with diskpart ?
