  • Thanks for the tip on using EasyBCD for both cases, but I was wondering for the manufacurer's key if I were to do that during installation of Windows, what would happen?

  • What do you mean during installation of Windows? Commented Nov 29, 2014 at 23:46
  • If I was to install a fresh copy of Windows onto a computer and put the manufacturer's key in it when requested, would it pass as a legitimate key or give off some sort of error?

  • Yes it would. Also newer computers preinstalled with Windows do not need product keys, Windows will automatically detect it in the BIOS. Commented Nov 30, 2014 at 0:18
  • But you won't need to reinstall Windows to remove Ubuntu anyway, unless you want to start afresh? Commented Nov 30, 2014 at 0:18
