Hi CMMPRO1,
As you have another W7 comp, same OEM and OS, you can create your own install media.
should have a built in create recovery discs option.
HP Notebook PCs - Using System Recovery, Factory Reset and Minimized Image Recovery Options | HP® Customer Support
Both your comps show as being shipped with W7 Pro
Your best bet for password/product key recovery

Belarc - System Management For The Internet Age. Software license management, IT asset management, IT security, Cyber Security.
IF the comp originally came with W7 it should have an OEM sticker attached, so you wont have to buy a new one:)
if you run this prog it will tell you
