    Hello everyone ;)

    Just got my Blade from ebay couple of days ago (refurbished)
    I just realized that previous owner deleted recovery partition, so im unable to factory reset computer. I found some windows 8 license number at the bottom, but when i tried to download windows 8 from microsoft site using this license number, it told me that this number is not for stock version, so i dont know what to do now :/

    I have at home one more win 8.1 license (which i got with my work pc and im not using it ). Could i install standard version of windows 8.1 from usb stick and just download drivers?
    Im bit confused about that "windows for razer" :)

    My second question is about plastic hinge of screen (the plastic part of screen which you can see even from back site of razer). Every time when im opening notebook, i hear some squeeking or cracking and if i push (even gently) on this part it squeeks a little.Its that normal?
