    Wondering if there's any way i can get a fresh install of Windows 7 without the install disc.
    It came pre-installed on my laptop but didnt come with the disc and now i want to clean everything up for my new SSD.
    Suggestions?
    hopefully this isnt a repeat thread. searching didnt yield anything...

    Make sure you back-up your CD key/activation files. There are a couple of methods to do this, try Google.
