My laptop hangs when I start with "Diagnosing the PC is running".
To save my important files, I installed Ubuntu next to Windows.
Since Windows hangs in an endless loop, I can't reinstall it.
Unfortunately I don't have my Windows license ready.
How can I reinstall Windows 8.1?
Since your Windows no longer starts, the relevant tools for reading the license key (such as Jelly KeyFinder) are of no use to you.
There's no other option.
Before you give up, you should run the alleged "infinite loop" for at least an entire night. Possibly. Then he will finish.
I did it, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Is this tool compatible with Linux or Ubuntu? Because Windows doesn't start anymore.
Installation is not the problem - activation is.
If you have messed up your license documents, then we can't guess what they were.
Let me guess: You haven't made any backups either?
In that case you reached nicely into the toilet.
For example, you can get inexpensive licenses https://www.lizengo.de/.
Do you have a Windows 8.1 DVD on hand? Then there would be a solution.
No, unfortunately not
There were times with Knoppix.
But whether I would recommend it to someone without further testing, whether it still works… I don't know…
