    So i got a brand new series 7 chronos which comes with Win 8. I just happen to have a Win 8 pro key.

    1.If i were to add to the key by using the add features function would it work?

    2.Would it also clash with the preinstalled key thats registred in the Bios?

    There is an applet in Control Panel that says "Add Features to Windows 8". I believe all you need to do is plug in the Pro key and it adds the pro features.

    It will not modify the embedded BIOS license key.
