iso image - Reinstall Samsung OEM Windows 8, no recovery partiton or disk

I have a recently purchased samsung NP540U3C that came with Windows 8 pre-installed. Windows stopped working and the recovery partition doesnt work anymore. I used RWeverything to find the Windows product key but it cannot be used to install a retail version of Windows when using the Microsoft Windows 8 setup. According to this Windows 8 would automatically activate if it is reinstalled but its not possible to download from Microsoft with an OEM Key. Samsung would not provide at recovery image/disc, so I am wondering if it was possible to dowhload windows 8 with the OEM key and recover Windows.


Is there something similar to this except for Windows 8?


Edit: Can you the change the Windows 8 Enterprise Eval to install Windows 8 Core?


Thank You
