How to reinstall windows 8
I purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R-5521. My 16 months old son kick it off the bed while I was using it. Now it won't start. I ordered the 1TB HDD. Can someone help me in the windows installation process? I can't find my windows key. They used to be a white stripe sticker in the bottom next to battery compartment, now it's blank.
Thanking you in advance.

The OEM product key for Windows 8 is embedded in the UEFI BIOS and will be automatically input with Windows 8.1 with Update 1 installation media or Windows 10 TH2 installation media. See here for more details:
