Trying to re-install Windows 8.1

[ImPrettyIrish]

I can't re-install Windows 8.1 because some files are missing, I guess. It says to put in the media disk but I don't have one for 8.1, I have one for Windows 8. So, what should I do? I really like 8.1 and really don't want to revert back to 8. Thanks for any help. It is much appreciated.

you can go online or call microsoft, and give them your windows key, and they will let you download/mail you a copy of windows.

If all you have is an 8 disk, then install that. Then do the (free) upgrade to 8.1

Ok. I will try to contact them first then try to install 8. Thanks!
