set laptop back to factory settings

[akad04]

i have a vaio latptop SVP132A16L its a newer one and came with windows 8 pro on it. I had to put windows 7 pro on it for a employee of ours to use. Now i need to to get windows 8 pro back on it because it was a floor model and it needs to be sold. i tried following the instructions to recover system back to windows 8 using the recovery media, but no luck it only gives me the option to recover windows 7 for some reason. if anyone has any solutions to this please help out.

thanks,

F2 is the magic number as you will need to re-image the system back to the original (in this case Windows 8 Pro). Usually all laptop vendors will create a recovery partition for such instances unless you wiped that partition clean then you will need to contact the vendor to obtain the recovery media with an added cost.
