Posted March 4, 201311 yr FPCH Admin Hi. For various reasons I had to format and reinstall windows on my lenovo think W520 laptop. I have its activation key, but I don't have any sort of recovery disk. I have a retail windows 7 HP disk that I used for my desktop, but installing with that won't let me activate with the laptop's key. And naturally the key that came with the disk is in use. How do I find an install disk that will work with the key provided with the laptop? (As far as I can tell, lenovo's website's software all assumes you have something to recover in my case the disk is formatted and AFAIK there's nothing to use to recover.)
