Windows 8.1 recovery please help

Go to solution Solved by StainlessSR,

The microsoft page details what steps to follow after the installation media is finished being installed to the flash drive. just be sure to get your product key first, the install should handle partitions, formatting and such.

Grammar and punctuation. It saves lives.

On a more serious note, I can't really figure out what exactly you are looking for in your OP. Please fix the spelling/grammar/punctuation so that we can effectively and efficiently help you.

I have a problem my p.c recovery drive has been deleted and I need to reinstall /start again please help me in this matter as I can't reinstall it without the recovery drive

Ok first off

  1. do you have your product cd key?
  2. do you have an iso of your version of windows (or the original version and the upgrade disk)

If the answer to the two above questions is no, don't worry we can do this

 

To get your product serial key use this freeware utility (I have personally not used it but I have heard it works) write this number down twice on two pieces of paper without copying it from one paper to the other (to help eliminate errors) or print it out (even better)

 

to get an installable iso of windows 8.1 get a usb stick with at min 5gb free space and goto this link (Microsoft official site) and follow the directions on the page

 

hopes this helps you

should still work, it is just like if the key was on a sticker on the side of the case. the only way it would not work would be if you have a pirated key (possible if bought from a pawn shop as they don't check, I know from personal experience).

you already formated the HD? or you got the cd key? it should be an alpha-numeric string. as that is what It will ask you to put in when you reinstall. not a file as far as I know.

This Link may help you as long as you haven't reformatted yet.
