I just lost an original copy of Windows 8.
There is no product key on my laptop, just a Serial Number and a SNID.
Can I get a product key usin a Serial Number or SNID? If yes how?

Try this tool for reading embedded Keys on OEM licensed machines. It is tied to that specific hardware so it can't "cheat" for you and help install elsewhere.
