So I'm pretty sure my hard drive is damaged since i can't boot into windows
It just goes onto the blue screen and then launches start up repair
Before i purchase a new hard drive is there a way i can get the windows key so i can wipe this hard drive and reinstall windows to check

Thanks in advance
 
Solution
Ah ok. If it came with Windows 8 then you there should be a Certificate of Authencity somewhere on your computer. If you bought it, it is probably on a box or in an email somwhere.
