Hello. Ive done lots of searching and im nearly there on getting the information I need.
Basicly the problem ive got is ive installed a new internal hardrive on my laptop. The laptop was currenly running 8.1 and has the product key saved in the bios on the mother board.
So apparnly from what i can work out i need to download a 8.1 copy with an app to boot from a USB flash drive and when i install it it will use the product key already saved in the bios.
But where do can I download this copy?
Ive seen one on the windows website but beleave it might be an "upgrade"
It isnt clear where to get a copy to do a clean or fresh install to use with my presaved product key.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
