    Hello all

    Recently i bought a ROG G551JW that came with windows 8.1 installed and with a recovery.
    a few days back when i wanted to update the 1 TB hdd that came with the lappy to a 250 SDD i droped the HDD on my tile floor and is dead now. i didn't had time to do a clone of it to the new sdd.
    is there a way to get a recovery disk or something similar, or where should i order it because for my model it says no recovery option on the shop?

    (just to clarify some stuff, i am running windows on it there is no problem, it came with win 8 but the license comes from the BIOS so there is no problem ) but i want to know if i can revert to the original ASUS ROG windows (even with all the bloatware it comes).

    tl;dr: i need a recovery disk or image/clone or something of the partition Recovery or something similar

    thank you

    You can order it through asus or you can burn your own 8.1 ISO and do an install off of that for a "clean" install.
