Hi,

I bougth the laptop for about 3-4 years with Windows 8 preinstalled.

I don't have any information as license key etc and the PC does not have a dvd drive.

How do I do to get and install Windows 8

Hi,


Windows 8 activation key is embedded in the BIOS chip on the motherboard. No need to retrieve it. On installation of Windows 8 64bit using recovery media, it'll get automatically activated. Use recovery discs to factory reset OS.

You could also clean install Windows 8.1 64bit on your laptop that came with Windows 8 64bit using Microsoft windows media creation tool by making bootable installation USB. This will also automatically get activated on installation while connected to internet.

Additional drivers after clean installation from here:
