Hi,
I had bought Lenovo G510 which came with Windows 8 pre-installed. The sticker is there under my laptop. I gave it to someone for installing Ubuntu to dual boot but somehow they managed to wipe out all the harddrive including the recovery partition, windows 8 etc. Only Ubuntu was left installed and later I installed Windows 7 on it.
Now I need Windows 8 back on my lapotp and sadly I don't have any rescue disks etc. How do I get back Windows 8 on my laptop ? My laptop has UEFI and I believe it has the Windows 8 product key in it also.
Right now I am using un-genuine Windows 7 home, 64bit on my laptop and I need to get back to genuine Windows 8. Is there any way ? Can i get Windows 8 ISO from which I can make UEFI based installation disk which will pick product key from the bios itself ?
Also I have changed the bios setting to Legacy something instead of UEFI.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
