I bought a laptop that came with Windows 8 installed. There were problems with my laptop and I couldn’t even use the Windows 8 refresh or restart, so I installed Ubuntu. I now have only Ubuntu on my laptop and was wondering if there was any way I could go back to Windows 8 without paying. In my BIOS, it says my factory installed OS is Windows 8, and I have the sticker on my laptop to prove it in case I have to send it in.
EDIT 1:
I called them and they said it would cost $30 to get another cd.
My sticker looks like the one on the left.
EDIT 2:
- My laptop is an HP Pavilion g6
- I have wiped the partition and there is only one with Ubuntu on it.
- I think I have my win 8 serial written somewhere
- Nowhere on the PC does it have any key.
- I have a legal Win XP SP2 cd (with key) if that helps.
