How can I remove linux and reinstall windows 8.1?

Hello. I recently installed a distribution linux (OS elementary, Luna) on my HP Pavilion g6. My pc is preinstalled with Windows 8. I decided to evaluate linux and installed on my computer. I was not paying attention when installing and apparently replaced Windows 8. My question is, how do I get it back? I am a person without any repair records and don't have anyway make one (since I am just a computer nerd aged 15 years). I heard that HP computers have a bios recovery console, but if that's true how to reach it?

Info by the PC.

Model: Pavilion g6

Storage: 683.5 GB

RAM: 5.3 GB

Processor: AMD A8 - 4500 M APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM) x 4

Graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Devicd 9903

Boot from the recovery of Windows 8 media, if you

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

For this reason, you will not be able to use the Windows 8 disc retail to activate the license incorporated, it does not recognize. That's why you need HP recovery media, otherwise you will end up having to buy a new license.

    It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

  • How can I remove Blinx drive of Windows Vista?

    HOW CAN I REMOVE BLINX PLAYER OF WINDOWS VISTA?

    Hi Briano,

    To my knowledge, it is a program and not a malicious software - so the following should do the trick (no problems of malware as far as I can tell - but if the following does not work, only after back with how you know there's always and we'll see what we can do.)

    What I've read, the process should be as remove any program http://www.ehow.com/how_7347305_remove-blinkx.html; However, just to be safe, we will use a method that tends to work better in almost all cases.   Download and install Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html (the free version) and use it in advanced mode to uninstall and completely remove Blinx.  Once completed, restart and Olivier Bonnet should be gone for good.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
