Media is the easy part and is readily available. A **LEGAL** copy is
the hard part. As long as you have a legitimate product key, you
should be able to use any service install or even OEM CD-ROM of
Windows XP if you ever wanted to put XP back on the laptop.
I wouldn't sweat it. Nuke it. Put a real OS on there.
