Hi:
My condolences regarding the death of your father.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to obtain a W8 recovery kit for your notebook as it is no longer available.
Here is a way you can install W8.1 for free by using the W8 product key in the notebook's BIOS...
Install W8.1 by creating the Microsoft installation media, using another Windows PC...You want W8.1 64 bit.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO
At the beginning of the installation routine, you can delete every partition on there.
There is no point in keeping the recovery partition if it has one.
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 'standard.'

If you had to enter the generic key, manually change the generic product key to the W8 'standard' key in your PC's BIOS in the PC settings menu.
After you get W8.1 installed, and you had to manually enter the generic product key, you will need to run the free utility I zipped up and attached below, that will show you show 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.
Then you can install the available drivers and software from your PC's support page.
