recentley my laptop hard drive broke and i can't acess the recovery, my laptop is a Toshiba SATELLITE C850-1GL i downloaded all the drivers onto a disk and ordered a new ssd, now all i need is a windows 8 copy, btw windows 8 came on the laptop, can anone give me a ling to the 64bit iso or something i have 64 bit windows 8.1 pro which i used on my pc but i doubt it will work,
is there anything else i need to know about downloading the iso or am i doing something wrong? i know i can buy the recovery disk for toshiba but they want 40 bucks for it and i can't afford that right now

im nearly 100% sure the version is plain windows 8 with no updates as laptop is from august 2012

That will likely be very difficult to replicate, OEM copies are often branded, and I'm going to assume that would be part of the match. And anything you download from Microsoft will be the "latest and greatest" lol, further reducing the likelihood of a match. Unfortunately you are likely stuck with talking to Toshiba. It's not just Toshiba you would have these problems with though, this would be the process with basically any preinstalled manufacturer OS, unless they provide install media. Next time you should follow USAF's advice, make a recovery disk of your own when you get a new PC like this. Might reduce future headaches.
