Hi guys,

I have ASUS Vivobook S551LB. The first time I purchased it, it was installed and configured well by Windows 8.
But, I had it formatted and cleared all partitions in it in order to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Since all the drivers are unavailable in Windows 7, I decided to reinstall my Windows 8.
I read all forums say that I could only install it if I have the backups.
Is there anyway for me to restore my windows 8?

Hi genet, thanks for your solution.
I have downloaded the media installation creation tool, and everything worked fine.
But my problem hasnt been solved since I don't have the product key. Now I am just trying to contact my manufacturer to ask where they stored the information, since I couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks for your reply btw, It's really helpful.

Note: If you have an OEM computer with UEFI firmware (BIOS) embedded Windows 8/8.1 product key, the Windows 8.1 installer should automatically detect product key from UEFI firmware (BIOS).

Note: If you get prompted to enter a product key, it means that you have the wrong installation media and that's when the Windows 8.1 installer can't detect Windows 8/8.1 product key from UEFI firmware (BIOS).

edit:

Note: After the installation is completed, Windows 8.1 will be activated automatically, if the internet connection is up and running (see screenshot below).
