System restore files MD8875

pdenhond — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 08:13:54 GMT

The hard disk of my dad's Medion MD8875 crashed. We have a backup of the data which we take every few months so that's not an issue. Problem is that when i start the PC with F11 to reset it to factory defaults it says 'there is no factory image' because that part of the HD is damaged also. I can insert a new compatible HD which i have but how to get the required restore files to be able to reset the system to factory state ? (we don't need a new pc, by replacing the HD it's still a very good one but we should get the OS back on it)

@pdenhond

This is no problem, because the Windows key is stored in Bios, and the installation you get from Microsoft

--> https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/software-download/windows10

With th etool you make a bootable USB installationstick , which willl install Windows on your new disk.

The key question you don't have to answer.

Sorry I only have the german page. Search for Windows 10 Iso in your browser.

Ja, en-gb. Ich hatte gb-gb, uk-gb und so weiter ausprobiert.

Andererseits können die Jungs ruhig mal Win10 Iso in ihren Browser eingeben. Wie ich es ihm geschrieben hatte.

Manchmal kommt es mir so vor , als ob wir den Usern noch das Klopapier hinterher tragen.

Das muss ja nicht sein, sicher nicht bei so leicht zu findenden Adressen.
