Your new computer should be under warranty, have you call the company you got the computer from?

no you will not get any problem with windows activation since you are using the recovery media
its not really a 100% fresh installs because it will come with Zoostorm bloatware
if you want a 100% fresh install you will have to buy a windows 8.1 DVD and complete format HDD then re install windows8.1 from the DVD
