Last week I bought an ACER Aspire V3-112P Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing with x64 bit for my wifey. Her job needed to install Linux for some technical purposes and its over now. I have missed creating a recovery image and now I want to revert it to Win 8.1 .

I have tried almost 5 win 8.1 OS so far which is downloaded from torrent & sites here. Its always asking for the product key .

I have installed win7 and tried to fetch the Key using RWEverything site and got a Product key, None of of OS I loaded accepts this product key too. I understood from the site that Win 8.1 will pick the key automatically from the BIOS/UEFI

Tried contacting ACER for a recovery CD and they asking for 1/3rd of the purchase price of laptop for new recovery disk.

Can any one help me here coz I don't want to spend too much on this. Can Any one upload a recovery image created from same type acer .


Your support is much appreciated and thanks in advance..

As you have already found out - the BING edition of windows 8.1 is an OEM only OS
and is not available for download anywhere...

If you have a way of accessing your HDD you can run a few commands to see if the Factory recovery Image is still present on a separate HDD partition

Boot from any windows 8.1 setup media and when on the INSTALL screen
press SHIFT+F10 to bring up a command prompt..

Type> select disk 0

Post a pic of that cmd windows and info

I can't even get that ISO on MSDN. You'll likely have to go to places you shouldn't to find an ISO. Try what KYHI posted first.

If Linux was installed, it killed it. I think that my dad has my copy of 8 Pro.

I can still download the installer for 8 or 8.1 Pro.

Jacob You should be able to pull the key from the Bios and go that route. Or just bite the bullet and buy a OEM copy of ten at newegg.com.

I use Linux Mint 17.2 on my main machine and can do everything that I could with Windows. If I have to use a software that I cannot get for Linux, I jump over to my wife's machine.

This should work in pulling her key out f the bios. https://itsolutionsblog.net/3-ways-to-extract-the-windows-8-product-key/

Sorry but the KEY is not an ISSUE here...
If the Factory Image of BING is gone.. He will have to purchase a New Product Key

Regardless of Bing that came with the machine. The key for that copy is still in the bios.

All Microsoft did was pay OEM's to install the Microsoft Crapware that really was not needed. But the Key is still embedded like any other version of 8.

I have installed win7 and tried to fetch the Key using RWEverything site and got a Product key, None of of OS I loaded accepts this product key too.

I mean Really ?? All this about a Key and not even the question by OP..

@broe23:

Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

If you're running Windows 8.1 with Bing, contact your device manufacturer for info on how to get installation media for your edition of Windows.

How to download and clean install Windows 8.1 if you have an OEM computer with UEFI firmware (BIOS) embedded Windows 8/8.1 product key. -> link

Note: You need to download the correct version of Windows 8.1 that matches your UEFI firmware (BIOS) embedded Windows 8/8.1 product key.

Note: You will not find the correct installation media, if you have an OEM computer that came with Windows 8.1 with Bing or Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing preinstalled.

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 are being prompted for 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).

Note: When installation is finished, Windows 8.1 will be activated automatically, if your internet connection is up and running.

genet I already know about that. The problem is that the OP has a branded version of Windows 8 that has a specific key and that they can only get the disc's from Acer, since they did not create restore discs.

We all have been arguing that the very first thing that should be done, before making an account, is that Microsoft needs to force users to make restore media.

Why are you arguing about it. As long as they have the key, they can force 10 to upgrade.

That version was a stupid idea by Microsoft in the first place. Same as the long ongoing argument that users need to be forced to make the Backup media, before they can even create an account.

Dear KYHI
Thanks for the revert..Please see the image.. I'm sure the recovery is gone.. For the time being i'm on a WIN7..I found my friend using a similar acer system and thought of creating a recovery USB in that system use it in my system, but unfortunately he has a 32 bit OS...Let me know that idea could work if I find a acer system with win 8.1 SL with bing?? Thanks every one for the quick replies..

Jacob turn on your private messaging. As for the 32 bit version. It will do fine. The Bing version is like the Windows 7 Starter was. If it works and she does not have more than 4 GB RAm, everything will run just fine.

Well your Factory image is gone.. And yes another Image of BING would work.. Although it appears Broe23 has a way of forcing an upgrade upon a non-activated OS..

It is also said, that if you wait til next month - the newer release of windows 10 will use your current OS product key to activate,
instead of having to do an upgrade first..

Yes there is a way to force the activation on a clean install of 10, without having the key. You have to have the "Free" upgrade, then when installing and it asks for the key, you choose to do it later, like it has to be done if you installed 7 or 8.1 in the past.

Then you go into Command window as admin and enter "slmgr.vbs /ato"

Ah, the OP has not done the free upgrade to Windows 10, therefore it will not activate? No digital entitlement exists for that PC?

Hi Friends.
I am currently on a Windows 7 Acer OEM, ultimate 64 Bit, pre activated version. I have tried updgrading to WIN10, it goes till the first restart after installation and get stuck there at WIN 10 Boot Logo. I forced restart after waiting for 20-30 minute it gets reverted back to WIN7 back and my Windows 7 Genuine activation will also be terminated. I think UEFI is pushing the win8.1 key.

@alphanumeric
"If you've already done the free upgrade there is no need to "force activation". You click skip when it asks for a key during installation, and when done Windows 10 will activate on its own, automatically."

I have not noticed the skip option when on product key page neither while upgrading nor while trying clean install on win10.

@KYHI
"It is also said, that if you wait til next month - the newer release of windows 10 will use your current OS product key to activate,
instead of having to do an upgrade first.."

It s worth waiting for a month if it will be done.. Let me once its released please, It will be a great help


Kudos to all who contributed to help me.....Thanks once again

If "Windows 7 Acer OEM, ultimate 64 Bit, pre activated version." is what I think it is, its illegal to use. It's a pirated version. Talking about stuff like that here, could get you banned. Even if it's an official Acer OEM image, it's till not legal to use unless your PC shipped with 7 Ultimate. Where did you get your Windows 10 ISO? This is the official source, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I have seen the skip option, lower right or left hand corner of the screen I believe.
