could this work as an alternative to the restore disks?

I just received my y500 with sli 650m, and i was having a horrible time with random crashes, freezing, etc. i decided it would be easier if i just put in my samsung 830 ssd, and install windows 7.

i still have the 1tb drive with windows 8 on it, but not install disks to reinstall from. i really want to use the 1tb as an external usb drive, so i'm looking for ways to potentially reinstall windows 8 (if i ever decide to) as close to oem as possible.

i know windows 8 handles licensing differently, and i used this oem folder method before when reinstalling a sony, but i wonder; would it work on the lenovo y500 series with windows 8?

any thoughts ?
