Where can I buy a CD with Windows 8?

Question

Windows

I bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled. The key is sewn into UEFI. The image itself is on the Recovery partition. Where can I buy a Windows backup disc? Just to be.

Answer 1

On ebay they sell disks that people received from the update, they are completely suitable for installation from 0 (I tried to do this myself).

Answer 2

Look for the serial number on the sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
If it is there, then you can download the same version of Windows from torrents as you have and burn it to a disc. Further, when installing, use the same serial number, and that's it.

Answer 3

Technical universities are subscribed to DreamSpark Premium (formerly MSDN Academic Alliance). They give it for free, incl. and Windows 8.

Answer 5

In general, it's very strange that you don't have a standard sticker for Microsoft.
I had an Asus UX32VD (though with Win 7 Home Premium x64), also with a hidden recovery partition and a UEFI partition. When recovering from a hidden partition, the key was picked up automatically.
But on the power supply there was a sticker with a serial number. I used it when installing OS from iso downloaded from torrents, everything went smoothly.
And in the Windows 8 upgrade program, I was asked to enter a serial number.
Perhaps it's easier for you to contact the vendor? The UEFI partition is not eternal, I demolished it on the first day. And how can you prove the legality of the installed OS without a key if something happens?

Answer 6

strange, I had HP, DELL, Asus laptops - all OEM. From the service software, everyone suggested making bootable DVDs, just in case, with a sewn serial number, drivers, etc. Climb through the menu
