My laptop came with pre-installed Windows 7 and I do not have a recovery DVD nor a Windows installation disk.

On boot the laptop says that BCD is missing. To recover I'd normally need a Windows installation disk. Does downloading a trial edition of Windows 8 and recovering affect my license ?

You don't have to use bcdedit. It would be to complex.

As you want to use a Windows 8 trial version for recovering BCD

you can use bcdboot.exe to repair/fix Windows BCD file.

Rewriting boot related files should not affect license.
