Contents

How do I reinstall Windows 8 on my laptop without CD?

Select “General,” then scroll down until you see “Remove everything and reinstall Windows.” Click on “Get Started,” then select “Next.” Select “Clean the drive fully.” This option wipes your hard drive, and reinstalls Windows 8 like new. Click on “Reset” to confirm that you want to reinstall Windows 8.

What if I don’t have Windows installation disc?

If you did not (or cannot) get an official Windows installation disc from your computer manufacturer, the only true alternative is to purchase a retail copy. You can try eBay for older versions of Windows, or purchase one from other legitimate online vendors.
