In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

The screen should light up * MODE of RECOVERY of HARD drive * for a fraction of a second, and then load the Toshiba Recovery program directly from the hard drive.

How can I reinstall a Windows 8 if I buy a laptop MSI with it preinstalled?
I plan to buy MSI CR70 2 M, the model I chose is delivered with preinstalled Win8. As the seller told me, no installation disc comes with the laptop.
I want to be able to reinstall Windows 8 in order to:
(1) to format the HARD drive, including all the "hidden partition" and whatnot, in order to remove the bloatware manufacturer and make full use of the 500 GB drive that I paid for. I prefer also to partition my disk system disks is apart from all the rest, and all the data user and other things is on another disk, so that it is easier to reinstall System wtihout having back up your documents and other data.
Regions, then I would need to reinstall Windows 8 after that I have format.
(2) try to install Windows 7 (I own a copy of it) and if I don't like how he behaves or I have driver problems, back to Windows 8. I don't want a dualboot, because if I'm satisfied with the performance of Windows 7 I never want to touch Windows 8 because I don't think it's a good OS for mobile phones or anything really that isn't a touch screen. I have therefore no use for Windows 8 either. But if something does not work, I would go back to Windows 8.
(3) reinstall Windows when, like for all windows, it ends up by slowing down to a crawl and dies after several software installs and uninstalls and other things that happen to a life above OS. (I'd be happy to make a clean backup and restore to it instead of reinstalling, if the laptop would not come with pre-installed bloatware)
I understand, there may be certain guarantees and other things in place by Microsoft to fight against piracy, but as I see it, I'll buy a BONE, and I want to be able to reinstall the operating system, at least on the computer I bought it comes with.
Alexey salvation,
I apologize for my late reply and appreciate your research.
There are various options to remove the bloatware that are detailed below.
Option 1:
You are considering buying a new laptop, I suggest you buy a laptop under DOS and Windows 8.1 media to buy separately. You can install on your own on this laptop and you will get any-bloatware preinstalled by the OEM.
Option 2:
You can buy a product key for Windows 8.1 and create an installation media for the installation. You must not 'refresh' or 'reset' of the PC. You can delete old partitions and create fresh partitions on the drive that will eliminate all the bloatware.
Option 3:
'Refresh' or 'Reset' to your PC as indicated in previous answers and uninstall the bloatware manually in the windows programs and features in Control Panel (like almost all things can be uninstalled manually).
According to your needs with a separate retail product license or installation of the retail media version is a better option that won't let you go to your "day 1 computer"(OEM imagé). "»
Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need additional information on the issue.
