Windows recovery on a non-windows operating system

In early 2014, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A7200 P75 (10/10 would buy once again). For about a month, I used the system with Win 8, that is very unhappy with her and Metro impulsively, I made the decision to completely remove Windows 8 and installed Linux Mint. However, I have created a system image and a recovery disk, now a year later I want to restore my system where it was when the image was created and go back to Windows as my main OS. Is this possible? I have scoured the internet for days and have not found a solution for restoring on a Ubuntu based OS. I used the most recent updates to win 8 and I am impressed and would go back (again). Any help would be appreciated, soon.

Hello

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

I can understand that you want to recover your windows 8 operating system of Linux operating system using recovery media.

As you have a backup of recovery of Windows 8 with you, I suggest you follow the steps indicated by Andre Da Costa on August 12, from the link given below to recover windows 8:

Note: Before attempting to restore window 8, I suggest you make a backup of all important data from your Linux operating system.

I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

    HP1000-1b10au

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the choice of a Windows operating system for your laptop and wanted to help.

    For the "best performance", you clearly have the right drivers - and the latest OS for which HP provides drivers for your laptop is Windows 8.  These same drivers would work in Win8.1.

    If you choose Win10 instead, there is no HP drivers and you'd be stuck using the drivers provided by MS and provide only the most basic features.

    Once you install Win8.1, then download and install this utility to prevent it to be updated to Win10: RCMP | Never10

    Good luck

  • Archiving of Information on the older windows operating systems

    Hello reader,.

    I wonder where I could find old information about windows operating systems, in the context of the source code for the windows XP operating system.

    Also, what is the current status on a user changes an XP operating system.

    As the XP operating system is no longer supported, it would be useful if a user can strip the unnecessary programs for example system essential safety who keeps popping up saying that it is out of date and require an update that we know will never happen.

    Obviously we need to take alternative internet security precautions.

    Security Essentials is no not part of Windows XP, so you can absolutely delete it.  Just go to control panel and choose "Add/Remove Programs", then delete the program from the list.

    You can not access the source code for Windows XP.  It is no longer supported, but it will retain the copyright and protection of the DMCA for decades to come.

    If you believe that you are using a pirated copy of Windows it is strongly recommended that you reinstall an authentic copy. Technically, yes you can install your old operating system. However, according to Microsoft, you may not use the copy you have on more than one computer. You can buy a new copy of Windows XP.
