Recently when my laptop started up it gave me the 3F0 error and said that it couldn't boot the Operating System.
I then decided to take my laptop to the shop, and the repairman downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro on it. The problem with this is when I try to factory reset my laptop it says that some files are missing and that " Your Windows installation or recovery media will provide these files." I don't have the disk or whatever the repairman used to install Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop.
What I want to do is download Windows 8 using my laptop's BIOS OEM Key but I don't know how I should go about doing this. I have a USB if that's needed and I know the BIOS OEM Key. Would any of you know how I would go about getting rid of this Windows 8.1 Pro and download Windows 8 using my laptops BIOS OEM Key?
I would really appreciate the help. It's been bothering me all day.
