Rare White Ape

I bought this. It has plenty of grunt.

And I would like some guidance from the experts here.
I want to rid myself of OEM bloatware on this machine, which came with Windows 8.1, and switch to nice pristine retail Win8.1.
I've done it before with my previous laptop which ran with Win7, but it wasn't 100% legal for various reasons. My HDD exploded and the OEM recovery image wouldn't work with the drive I replaced it with. So this time I'd like to try and do it fully above-board, if that's possible.
I think the main hurdles involve the product key and locating a proper Win8 ISO.
Sooooo.... not from Teh Pirate Bay.
But before I dive in, I want to make sure this is possible. I've made recovery discs in case I fuck it.
So, is it possible?
