Need help figuring out how to clean install without installation disc for new comp

[Swordfish35]

Hey all. Just got my Asus n550jv running W8 preinstalled. I'm having some instability sluggish issues already and I want to do a clean install. I was not shipped a W8 installation disc as it came preinstalled. I have the product key via belarc advisor. Is there any way to do a clean install?
Thanks!

Google is a great tool.

Is installing the recovery partition the same as installing a clean OS or will it also contain files for bloatware?

I have reinstalled Windows 8 recently without a disk. It is very easy. To do this you go to the right metro sidebar, settings > change PC settings, click on general, scroll down and it says "remove everything and reinstall windows". Press "get started" and follow the on screen instructions. You do not need a serial key as it is encrypted into the BIOS in Windows 8, so it automatically activates itself. Hope this helps, good luck!
