Installing windows 7 again, lost disc.

[Eightyeight]

Hi

I have a laptop with a Mandarin (chinese language) version of windows 7 home premium on it. There is the licence code on the back of laptop, on a genuine Win sticker. Can I use any Win 7 home premium disc to install windows again? Would it have to be another mandarin disc?

Also, is it possible to download a replacement disc as an ISO from Windows? Tell me I don't have to buy another copy of Windows 7.

No you own the copy of Win7 which comes with the PC for it's life to reinstall as often as you want. YOu can also use a different language for the same version as best we know.
