Please help get my PC Windows 8

I just took an hour to type this same upward, but I thought that it would be preferable to shorten.

So, I bought a PC to get the best record of computer games. Said PC has Windows downloaded on 8 by default.

I restore my PC on every two months to just keep clean.

As I said that the PC has Windows 8 on it. I'm not the biggest fan of Windows 8, so I contacted my friend to see if I could get his disc of windows 7. Without research, I installed Windows 7 by formatting my hard drive and the boot from USB it gave me who said he had a legitimate copy of windows.

Namely, the copy is either torrented or something because I get a pop up every time I turn on my PC saying something along the lines of: "this copy of windows is not genuine".

I'm terrible sorry if this means that this copy isn't legitimate and I still want to get help.

* Sorry for the abrupt sentences as well, just try to keep it simple *.

I wonder how to return to windows 8, since I don't have the disc because my PC did not come with it.

All I have is the product key for windows 8.

I'm basically asking how can I get rid of this copy of windows 7 and just install windows 8 return.
I tried to restore to the factory settings, but it says I need a disk, and as I said, all I have is the product key printed on the side of my PC.

So please someone out there tell me what to do to get back to my LEGITIMATE windows copy, and again, I'm sorry if this copy I have is not legitimate. I didn't at the time.

Please help, thank you, Cappy.

Hello

I don't know exactly what version you have... Home, Pro or business...

You can probably buy a key from Microsoft, but the best way would be to buy an OEM Version of detail for each home or Pro...

I see the announced Home version on sale for only $80, and the Pro for $110...

Maybe even cheaper if get you lucky.

If not for the version that you have, you can install it from the disc...

You are cheaper, would be to get an installation for Win 8 of ibuypower disc...

They may even have a method to upload an image and burn your own disc.

    Ask the help of the web page for your first question.

    For the second, you are infected/infested and need to clean up.  What AntiVirus you are using has not been able or has not updated or you had an interruption in service.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
