I have a toshiba L655 laptop which I bought recently . I don't have any recover disks . And I don't have Windows installation dvds . Now my laptop is severely attacked by the virus which I am not able to remove .
All I am gonna do is to download the Windows 7 iso file from the sites like Download Windows 7 ISO (Official 32-bit and 64-bit Direct Download Links) » My Digital Life and install the windows from that .

Now my doubt is that , can I use the license key given on the sticker on my laptop to this Windows which I have installed , to make it original ?? please help me out .
Please don't advice me to order recover disks for my laptop .

Welcome DareDevils

Choose the Repair Menu in the Windows boot menu (Press and hold F8 at the Toshiba SplashScreen). The System Recovery Image must be already included inside your Laptop's HDD. Restart your Laptop and access the Recovery and restore your OS. :) hope it helps

And if your having trouble with viruses, i would suggest that you use a live CD like the Kaspersky rescue disk. Create an iso and boot into it and run a virus scan from there.
