How to make a clean install of Windows 8 on a machine that has the key preloaded on its motherboard?

Q

I just bought a laptop that came pre-loaded with windows 8 including a ton of shovel-ware that i do not want. I want to make a clean install of the same version of Windows 8 but the first thing the installer ask for is the product key... Now, I know that the key is on the Mother Board but I have no way of knowing it. My computer manufacturer does not know the key and Microsoft can't help. I understand the benefits but I am a bit stuck now...

No, the key is not on the motherboard. But it's on a sticker somewhere on the computer. Check with the manufacturer to find out where.
