While trying to restore the laptop to factory settings, I got error messages, and inadvertently wiped out the hard drive. How do I start from here.
you mean it wiped out the recovery partition? And you didn't make a recovery disk when you first got the laptop? you might able get one free, if it still in warranty or you will have to buy it from toshiba.
I just called. I do not have a back up disk. It is no longer under warranty, so Toshiba wants to charge me for a new copy. Since I find this completely unreasonable, I am going to use a copy of Windows 8 from someone else, then update it to Windows 10 anyway.

If your computer came with windows 8 you don't have to worry about getting the key.
