Hello @Dipupaul,

You dont require to enter product key for WIN 8 Reinstallation. Its already preactivated and stored in BIOS.

Now, Unfortunately HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model,

Please try with the below links, They are HP vendors

So I install windows 8.1(download from Microsoft website)? & active free?

Hello @Dipupaul,

Downloading from Microsoft website will not work as its a retail copy.

You require an OEM copy( Original Equipment Manufacturer). 

So you will have to buy restore discs  from the website that i provided and install windows 8
