    My laptop came with Windows 7 preinstalled. I used a program to get the key, but I have no disc to reinstall from. Can I find the files I need one my computer or online and burn them to a DVD, or do I have to go out and get the required CD? Thanks.

    If you have any trouble activating just call Microsoft and they should get you squared away.
