I have a brand new Asus PC with 2TB HDD. Now that all PCs come with no media what do I do to install a 500GB SSD that I bough

Solution
It may or may not work. I'm not familiar with Asus pc's.
Power off and disconnect your internal HDD
Install the SSD and connect it.
Insert the flash drive and boot up to the recovery program.
Follow the prompts to restore or reinstall win8.

The problem may be that the recovery wont install to a drive smaller that what its expecting to see.

I did the recovery "create" procedure to a flash drive (64GB). Will that not work to restore the OS to the new SSD? All help is greatly appreciated!
