Hi

Not sure, but Heidoc is where I would start.

It may not be available from any reputable source.

Hi, @tipasda 

There are no versions of W8 available for download.  There never were.

You can install W8.1 SL for free using your notebook's W8 product key that is in the BIOS, as follows...

Install W8.1 by creating the Microsoft installation media, using another Windows PC, if yours is not working...You want W8.1 Single Language 64 bit.

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, use this generic key.

This is the generic key for W8.1 Single Language.

Y9NXP-XT8MV-PT9TG-97CT3-9D6TC

When you get to the screen that asks 'Where do you want to install Windows,' delete every partition on the hard drive, leaving just one partition of unallocated space. Click Next, and W8.1 should begin to install.

If you had to enter the generic key, manually change the generic product key to the W8 key in your PC's BIOS in the PC settings menu.

After you get W8.1 installed, and you had to manually enter the W8.1 generic product key, you will need to run the free utility I zipped up and attached below, that will show you the W8 product key in your PC's BIOS.

I have also zipped up and attached below, the Microsoft tool which hopefully will transfer the ISO file to a DVD or USB flash drive so it is bootable.  Or you can use a free utility such as Rufus.

Then you can install the available drivers and software from your PC's support page.

@Lil_Boy_Blue and Paul_Tikannen.

Manythanks for your kind response.

Actualy before I am looking for Windows 8 Home Single Language x64 ISO  Ihave got problem my Noteboot HP Envy 15 TS, the problem is loop/stuck in Preparing Windows Repair then Diagnostic you PC then fail to booting. Since I bought the notebook in 2013 I use Windows 8 Home single Language brought the notebook.

Althought I konow that Windows 8 Home Single Language is obsolete. I do not want to install with other Windows version because I want repair then get/save my personal file in C drive first.

So many methode that I have try to booting to My notebook. Manythank to Rufus, Hiren's boot CD and DLC boot CD 2019 Creator. All this free tools which help me to get dan save my all personal file in Drive C. Finaly with DLC boot CD 2019 I can open my notebook in Mini Windows 10 x64 and copied all my file.

After that, I install my notebook with 8.1 Single Language ISO that i have downloaded from microsoft site. In this step Free  Rufus tool help me to made GPT format USB bootable as like my GPT Drive (I have failed with Windows 7 USB DVD tool Installer.  May be the format default with this tool is MBR ?). The new key not needed when I install the windows 8.1. After complete install the Windows Product ID Windows in the System show is 15 digit and letter AAOEM. Is this the Windows 8 product ID?.

After I have installed 8.1, everytime I start notebook  I get 2 choice option : Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.

If I chose 8,1,  Windows can operated, but if i chose 8 windows bring me again to" Preparing Automatic Repar", "Diagnostic Your PC" loop dan stuck. I  think the Windows 8 and 8.1 in one Drive (C Drive).  I have delete Window 8 with methode : System configuration-boot- delete windows 8 and made windows 8.1 as current OS;default OS and restart. After that I used the methode : Clean boot Windows  (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows).

When I see to properties my "This PC",  I read : "Windows is not activated" and "Product ID : Not Avaiaiable".

In this step I click to “Avtivated Windows “ option then re start. After re start I see in the properties my "This PC" that :

 “Windows is activated" and

"Product ID : 15 digit number – AAOEM.

The product ID Windows is same before.

Manythanks for you both for help.
