Product: L3C36UA#ABA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

My computer has no OS due to it's hard drive getting wiped out. I run the hard drive check and all the tests passed so i'm looking for a way to get a OS installed. Where can I get or buy a bootable disc image?

Please use the following link

 

            https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f...

 

You should be able to create a boot-able media to install Windows 8.1 to your machine. System will use existing key in BIOS to activate.
