Running windows 8.1 on my R2, I have the AlienFX, Command Center and all drivers working fine, input your service tag on the dell website, they should list windows 8.1 under driver selection

I bought an m14x r2 and i love the machine! but i hear it throttles the 650m at around 650m, it turns out this is true :/ but it seems to be related to cpu temps of the hd 4000, i disabled turbo mode and it lasted up to 69c before the 650m throttled :/ not good for gamers considering 70c is fine to me, i have a cooling pad.

m14x r2 questions
in Alienware M14x / AW 14

Hey guys, new to the forum
I have a few questions about the m14x r2, I recently replaced a bricked mobo, now i need to re activate windows, but the key stored in UEFI is for windows 8, i upgraded to 8.1
my first question is how can i reactivate windows 8.1 without reinstalling window8 and then upgrading again, i have 300gbs of games (still installing) i dont want to painfully redownload.
second question, do any of the unlocked bios stop the thermal throttling of the 650m? ive monitored temps and i believe its due to the HD 4000 gpu overheating.
last question, trying to upgrade bios, my battery is dead so im not sure how to upgrade without buying a new battery :/
any help is greatly appreciated
