How to do a clean install over a preinstalled W8?
I purchased a new latop from ASUS which comes with lots of garbage and many partitions.
I first tried to do a reset to get rid of everything but it says that it doesn't find the necessary files, so it is failing.
So I would like to download an .iso of this Windows 8 x64 (basic, not Pro) and do a clean install. I guess it is completely legitimate since I paid for it and I just want the same but clean and without small partitions.
But I need to find the .iso for this Windows and I need to find the licence key.
The rest, I can manage perfectly since I reinstall Windows all the time.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
