Hey, so iv´e got myself into a tricky situation. Yesterday my gpu failed (beloved old gtx 780 rip), i failed to realize it was the gpu that was dying at first so i started a clean install of windows thinking that might solve the problem. During the installation the computer unexpectedly crashed and restarted so the installation got bugged and got stuck in an infinite restart error loop, tried to get past it with regedit but to no avail(the error goes away but it just keeps restarting anyway). So that leaves me with reinstalling from usb or dvd, thing is i cant find my windows 8 dvd. I checked MS site for instructions on how to create a new usb boot device with their legal iso download, but it says i dont have the pc system to do it since i´m on a Mac(my school pc).

Is there any way i can create the windows boot usb from my mac? or do i simply have to buy a new Windows version for 100 bucks? I also dont have the Windows key anymore seeing as that was a sticker on the dvd (I have previously activated windows 10 online though with my MS account). If anyone has any insight into this mess iv´e made id greatly appreciate it.
