Had you followed the advice to reinstall Windows, you would have solved
your problem already. At this point, you're a troll as far as I'm
concerned.
When you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled you no longer get a
Windows iso disk and with the OEM version you cannot just download it.
You have to buy it. Why should I buy something again that I have already
paid for?
You don't have to buy a full new copy of Windows. If you haven't made
an installation DVD yourself there are plenty of people on Ebay
offering these for a much smaller sum reflecting just the cost of
printing and posting the disk, but without an activation code. If your
previously installed copy of Windows 8 was already activated, then you
should find that the new installation is also. I think the activation
information is either stored in the BIOS or obtained from Microsoft
when it goes online to check.
This is what I used when I replaced the hard drive in a laptop with a
solid state drive, and it works just fine. A big advantage of a
completely fresh install on a blank drive is the avoidance of the
crapware that comes with any system installed by a manufacturer. If
you install it yourself you only install what you want to install.
