See if this assists you with your Repair options.

You can use the power button to restart your computer three times. This will start the Windows Recovery Environment.

When you reinstall it will pick up the Product Key and activate the system automatically.

Hello,

Try repairing boot records, using these steps:

1. Start your Windows 8.1 machine, and quickly shut it down before it reaches or if it is at boot screen. Do this two times repeatedly.
2. On the third time, Windows 8.1 will automatically display 'Your PC couldn't start properly' message. Now press Esc key for recovery options.
3. Then under Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot option and now click Advanced options option.
4. Under Advanced options screen, click Command Prompt.
5. Type following commands one-by-one and press Enter key after each:

BOOTREC /SCANOS

BOOTREC /FIXMBR

BOOTREC /FIXBOOT

BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD

6. Close Command Prompt and see if issue is resolved now.
