The company is legally obliged to provide a means of reinstalling Windows - please check your manual to see what method they use.It could be either a Recovery partition, or the ability to create your own set of disks for reinstall (or both)If for some reason this is no longer available to you, you will need to contact the company, which may provide a set of disks for you - at a price.
