Hey there, Bilal_07.

Just use a different computer to create a bootable USB flash drive or a DVD with Windows 8.1. Check out this article, it has instructions on how to do that: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media. Note that in order for you Windows Key to work, you should get the same version of Windows 8.1 as the one you already have on you installation media.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
