• How to reinstall Windows 8 with the upgrade product key

  I bought a Windows 7 laptop and then bought the upgrade of Windows 8. on the online store of Windows. The hard drive of the laptop has been altered somehow and both the partition of Windows 8 and Windows 7 recovery partition no longer works.

  When I try to create a USB Windows 8 key install it does not accept the product key that I paid for. I can't reinstall Windows 7, so how can I reinstall Windows 8 on the laptop.

  Hello

  Try saving it in a an ISO Image... You can then put it on a flash or DVD later...

  Make sure that you try to download Win 8 and not earn 8.1...

  You will always have problems well... even if you manage to get the picture, it will take an existing operating system on the machine.

  You may have to buy Win 7 media the manufacturer of machines, if they are still available...

  The price is usually quite reasonable, less with most manufacturers charge about US $20
