Hi,
I live in Indonesia, and asked someone to get me the new HP Envy x2 tablet/laptop hybrid from Australia and bring it back here. I just received it last night and win 8 didn't come pre-installed. When I power on it says:
Boot device not found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard disk (3FO)
F2 System Diagnostics
For more information, please visit: www.hp.com\go\techcenter\startup
I'm not sure what to do, as I don't have an HP service centre anywhere near me. I'm downloading the win 8 x32 iso so I can make a bootable usb and try to install it from there, but does anyone know anything about the licensing?
As it's never had windows installed will it have the license baked in to the BIOS? I've read this thread about license keys on win 8 machines, but I'm not sure how that would apply to me.
I'm just really peeved off that I paid a lot of money for a computer and then have this happen.
Thanks.
