Hello all.
I have a Toshiba that came with Windows 8 installed. I used it for a few months and suddenly the hard drive died,
I did not make a recovery disk while it was working and it did not came with a DVD.
So my question is, where can I get an original Win 8 ISO to make a USB or DVD to make a fresh install on my new hard drive?
I only found instructions to upgrade existing versions of Windows 8 on this link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
And it says,
Warning
Don't format your hard drive before installing Windows. Your current version of Windows must be running when you begin installing Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.
So this method will not work for me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
