[HELP] Alienware 17 Windows 8 x64 Reset to Factory Settings
Hello I have an Alienware 17 laptop with all drives/partitions wiped. I've tried recovery booting through my USB but it said "Recovery partition missing" and without it, it says "OS missing..."
Should I just buy the windows 8 OS disc at a store and install it?
Or should I go at it by a different means?
Please help ASAP, I am going out to travel and I need this laptop for oversea studies.

I'm guessing it came with Win8-64?
Create Win10-64 ISO on good computer. It should read Win8 key from BIOS or, after install ... you can enter key from sticker (if you have one).
