I had to change the HD in my laptop.
Now, I put a new SSD in. I did have win 8.1 installed.
Laptop came with Win 8 installed. I made recovery media. The media does not work. Ziltch! Nada. Won't work!
I have tried some win 8 CDs but it keeps saying something like the media doesn't match the key. Not sure which version my laptop came with!
Can I buy an oem version of Win 8 and install that and then put in the product key from that? Will that work?
I checked the manufacturer website and it states no recovery media available for my laptop.
Any help would be great. Ta
