    Asus say on their website that if you upgrade to Windows 8 it will disable the f9 recovery,I have just took my laptop back to PC World to be reinstalled,it will cost me £50,because f9 or any other way to recover it failed.I had Windows 8 already installed at purchase,all I did was accept the upgrade tp 8.1'if this alone disabled f9'then this means that I can never upgrade to 8.1 again.what I would like to know is if this is so,when I get my laptop back and cannot upgrade it then it is not fit for purpose,and I want a different laptop that has a working recovery system,woul I be within my rights,thank you for any help.

    Which model did you purchase? And where did you read that upgrading to Windows 8.1 will disable the recovery?
