hello,

i just got a new lenovo ideapad y510p laptop with preinstalled windows 8.1. as soon as it arrived, i tried to do a clean (fresh) installation. however, there was no key sticker on the laptop and none of the documents had the key, but after hours of research i found 2 different keys using belarc advisor and powershell. then, i downloaded 8.1 setup from ''upgrade windows with only a product key'' at microsoft's website, but my keys didn't work.

my questions are:

1) where can i download windows 8.1 iso safely? can i use the one in downloads page at microsoft website (the one at the store) to do a clean install? (some people said it cannot be used to do a clean install, is it true?)

2) also, when i get the iso and begin to do a clean install, will the setup accept one of the keys, or will the pc automaticly activate the setup?
