    So, I need to re-install windows 7 after having to install a new HDD on my XPS 15.



    When I purchased the pc, I didn't receive a windows disk - is it possible to reinstall Windows 7 with the product key information or how to Dell deal with this issue?



    Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
