Okay, so my brother just gave me the ASUS G750JW Laptop to use, it has windows 8.1 x64 OS on it, and I've tried at least a dozen or so ways to get it to find the recovery drive using tutorials and I am getting nowhere but frustrated. I've even tried making an ISO Win 8.1 disc and getting it to boot from there hoping that the key (which I got using a 3rd party device) would pull from the bios and allow me to get a clean computer that way, but to no avail. It won't even recognize the disc as a boot option. I've finally figured out the keys to get into the bios and boot menus, so we're good there. And I am pretty familiar with windows 7 back, but I've never encountered windows 8 until now, and I already hate it.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Also, don't feel like you are overexplaining anything. Explain it as simply and in as many steps as you can, trying not to assume I know what you're talking about, especially if you get into command prompt stuff, cuz that loses me really quickly when people jump around.
Thank you ahead of time for your help. This is really frustrating!!
