Hey im going to do a fresh install of Windows but can I do that in the windows 8 settings? If you go to setting and choose recovery and the take the on in the middle. I think it says something like delete everything and reinstall windows. If I press that will I loose windows and have to buy it later?

Nope, do it and as long as you have your product key you'll be fine

Just be sure to write down your product key before doing it and you should be fine.

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

You can use Speccy to tell you your product key btw. In case you don't know what it is, or have lost the article that it was written on.
