Hello... A much better option for those of you with lost or broken, but valid, copies of Windows 8 or 8.1 is to order replacement media. In your case, there's no reason to pay full price for another copy of Windows 8 or risk being infected with malware.

If Windows 8 came preinstalled on your computer, and you did have DVD or flash media but now it's damaged or lost, contact your computer maker for a replacement. Depending on their policy, your computer maker may provide you with Windows 8 media for free or a small fee.

If you legitimately purchased and downloaded Windows 8 from Microsoft, you can download Windows 8 or 8.1 again here, so long as you have your product key documented.

If you purchased a retail Windows 8 DVD, you can...

When you first started your laptop you should have been given the option to create a recovery set. It is usually one of the first things you do after starting the system. If you skipped it there should be a app on the laptop that will let you do it.

When you FIRST took the computer out of the box and TURN IT ON, it immediately informed you to make BACKUP / Recovery DVDs (about 3 of them no more then 5 if you have a specialized set of software on there). If you just 'clicked through' this process, then you skipped it.

Simply click the Orb in the lower left and type in the Search Programs and Files field Recovery. Or better yet look through the programs for the maker (Dell, HP, etc.) folder of programs and there is usually listed the Create Recovery DVDs or something like it.

Worst case you could OPEN THE MANUAL and READ IT, which will tell you how to make backup / recover DVDs.

If you purchased a retail Windows 8 DVD, you can contact the Microsoft Supplemental Parts team and request a replacement.

While not a replacement for Windows 8, please know that you also have the option to create a Recovery Drive for Windows 8 using a friend's Windows 8 PC, all for the cost of a small flash drive. Your Recovery Drive can be used to perform all the diagnostic and repair functions that a full copy of Windows 8 can. See How To Create a Windows 8 or 8.1 Recovery Drive for instructions.
