Call the manufacturer of the PC, if you plead your case they will send you
real media for this. Personally I make it a point to never buy a pc
pre-loaded with an OS anyways because they put so much bloatware on it to
begin with. You can always do a reload of windows using retail media so long
as you still have the key.
