    Hi

    I purchased my laptop with XP installed on it already and have a product key label on the bottom of my laptop.  What do I need to do as its an offical sticker, if I can't even trust a retailer to have official software installed upon equipment they are selling really I think retailers should reduce there prices and allow individuals to purchase there own software.  I don't seem to be able to locate the operating system disk now for the laptop, is there another way round this without haveing to purchase windows xp pro again.
