Hi:

 

Unfortunately, recovery media is no longer available for your notebook.

 

You can download a plain W8.1 ISO file from the link below, clean install Windows and then install the drivers and software from your notebook's support page;

 

Download Windows and Linux ISO lightning fast ⚡ - OS.click

 

Use the free Rufus utility to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive so that it is bootable.

Set up the Rufus menu exactly as you see it in the illustration for Windows installations.
