G+_Bart Dyer Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just bought a laptop from best buy. I know they have a recovery partition but I that usually will install the crapware with it. I want to get a clean install of windows8 legally. Is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Hastin Zylstra Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Download any ISO and install it. The Win8 key is prekeyed into the BIOS. Just use the same edition (Reg. or Pro) that the machine came with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dale Dubnyk Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yep. What Hastin Zylstra said. Its easy. Download the ISO, put on USB, install. Then do windows 8.1 update immediately after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
