Windows 8 OEM

[LeParkour012]

Is there some way. Any way to get a Windows 8 OEM iso? Seriously. I thought the internet has everything. Apparently not a Windows 8 OEM iso. Been searching for days. I really need help. I wanna reinstall Windows on my Asus G750JX. I lost my recovery partition. The only thing now is an ISO.

Doesn't that work only with retail keys and not OEM keys?

i would think a standard windows 8 install should work either way. Worse case you wasted only 20-30 minutes to try.

Yea I just tried it. It's only for retail keys. Not OEM keys. It's really so hard to get an OEM iso.

have you tried contacting the laptops manufacture support to see if they can provide it

Yup. They can't provide it for some reason

thats fucked up. Id say your best bet is to either wait a day and see if someone on here knows, call microsoft, or if all else fails get the standard install from a torrent site.

The OEM key is not the product key, the Product key Will not Include OEM  eg  1234.1234.OEM4.1234  That is like the product licence name, Your product key will be a normal windows key and work with any ISO as long as its the correct version like 32/64 Bit,  Normal/Professional etc 

 

You can use a software call key finder for it to tell your product key     (Link: https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder )

Tried it again with that software. Says here that O and 0 should not be in a product key. The product key in that software has O and 0. The other product key is my OEM key and isn't supported

Maybe you have a corrupt registry. Is your Windows Active? Did you completely format the drive?

 

You should just Download Windows 10 Preview, Its much better then windows 8.1 and free.

You can buy a windows 8.1 product key for £10 etc if you really need a new one.

Windows 10 Preview? Is that even stable for daily usage? It's still a Preview so I don't trust it much. I don't have the money to buy a product key. Buy it for me? lol

[William12h]

Windows 10 Is stable, Its literally Windows 7/8 put together. You can use their recommended Build (So most stable) Or the newiest build which Is stable but more likly to have bugs.   (Done via the settings in the OS you can push for diffrent types of updates)

And if its works on 7/8 it will work on 10

Interesting. I have another question. Is there any way I can recover my lost recovery partition? I wanted to reset my PC but I can't since I don't have a recovery partition.
