Hp Oem Windows 8 Iso
I decided to downgrade to Windows 7, and shortly after doing so I realized that drivers were not available for the hardware my laptop is using. I'm on a HP touchsmart 14.
In installing windows 7 I had to clean and fomat the drive and all partitions, effectively removing the Recovery partition. No big deal, my product key should just be on the bottom right? No, that's wrong. I'm wrong. I'm ashamed.
Is there any hope of me getting windows 8 back? My only options are piracy, and scamming HP for a replacement laptop.

- We are trying to reinstall windows 8 on my friend's laptop on a bare Hybrid Solid State Drive. Our plan is to boot from a usb drive but I have had no luck finding a download for a windows 8 iso file, all I can find is 8.1 previews on microsoft's site so if anyone knows a trustworthy download it would be much appreciated.
- Hey, was that ISO for laptops that have the Windows 8 cd key embedded into the BIOS? I am trying to just do a simple reformat, but Windows 8 makes this very difficult without a physical cd key on the laptop. I am trying to restore a HP Pavilion g7-2275dx and just need a Windows 8 OEM ISO to do it.

'The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options.'
So my problem is i need to get the correct ISO from Compaq/HP for this laptop, i just cant find it. I cant get much information about the specific laptop because i don't have any manual for it and any sicker that may have given information are not on it, All i know is that It is windows 7 home premium (i think 64 bit, sticker is faded), it has a Pentium processor, and the license sticker says HP (it is a compaq laptop but i am lead to understand that it is one and the same.) If you have any insight into how to help, any input is apreciated.
(also, is it possible to determine the exact version from the key alone because the sticker is faded and i am not 100% sure on the version)
The disk is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. It supports x86 and x64 platforms. Easy Recovery Essentials – or EasyRE – is a 50 to 135 MB ISO image that you can download and burn to any CD, DVD or USB drives.
