My Samsung laptop HDD died which held my recovery partition. I no longer have a recovery media as it was wiped by mistake years ago. My laptops Windows 8 license is stored in BIOs firmware so I need to reinstall Windows 8 with an OEM version of an ISO.
Idon't think a retail version of Windows 8 will work to have the license auto populate after Windows is installed.I tried Samsung support and they straight up said they do not release their recovery media at all, and also do not sell it. They said to use BestBuy but best buy says they don't keep recovery media at all. They said I would end up having to purchase a newWindows 8 license to get my laptop back running. I'm a 3rd year IT student, re-imaging the laptop will be easy once I have the ISO to do so.Can you help / provide advise on what I should do?
