    Hi!
    My G751JY came with factory installed Windows 8.1, however I have installed Windows 7 to try that one out too.
    Now I want to go back to the factory OS, however F9 button does not work anymore.
    In Windows I can see the factory OS partition, it is there, undamaged, I was also able to extract the install.wim from it, however Windows does not see it as a recovery partition so if I try to make a recovery disk from a fresh install of Win 8.1, the copy recovery partition box is grayed out.

    How can I "revive" the OEM reserved recovery partition and reinstall the Windows as it was out from the box?

    Thanks for the help.
