Where did you get the idea he was talking about windows 8. No where in his specs or in his cp does he indicate he is using 8.

To use the OEM manufacturer's side of Windows 8's Recovery, you need a USB drive of not less than 16gb. Recovery Drive - Create with USB Flash Drive in Windows 8
Greyed at in this screenshot, as I am not OEM manufacturer's. | My System Specs | | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:13 PM. | |
