I bought a laptop and now I received an hard drive failure message. It still works for now but I think it wont last very long. What do I have to do in order to install windows 8 on another hard drive since I don't have any install disk ?

If you have the hard drive you want to transfer to, you can use a bootable disk cloning software, such as Clonezilla, to copy your internal drive to the external one. You will need a USB to SATA adapter, which I will link to below.

You can download the original ISOS from here:

When the installation prompted, type your original Windows 8 serial key from your old laptop .
