Highly unlikely. You will need to find the disk or buy another. But if you still have Windows 7 installed, you can find the key, in your OS, that you have used, download another copy of the OS from a reliable source, and reinstall using your present legit key.

davehc, thanks for reply,
l noted down a while ago:

"PRODUCT KEY:
BB4BM-VH7GG-GTR8D-XXXXX-XXXXX
proof of licence / certificate of authenticity:
X15-XXXXX"

but can l find the details in my OS, if so how? and do l just go to microsoft.com to download windows 7 home premium 64bit and then put it on a USB stick / burn onto dvd? could you give me the exact URL to download this?

thanks again
