Lost Windows 8 trying to dual boot Linux

[ellysium]

I am very new to windows 8 (8.1) but this is undefensible .
I was trying to install Ubuntu alongside my windows 8 install when I accidentally
wiped out my entire windows 8 install.
I am using an acer aspire laptop

Does anyone have any ideas about how I might reinstall windows 8

Thanking you in advance

Is this a Acer OEM manufacturer's PC with Pre-installed Windows 8?
