If the OS came with the laptop then you'll need to reach out to the laptop manufacturer to get the OEM recovery disk since your product key might not work with the retail version. What OS do you have? I know some Windows 7 keys actually work with the retail disks but not sure about 8.x

Give this a try

Microsoft Software Recovery (Windows 7)
Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help (Windows 8.x)

wd like to look at the W7 link but am getting this -

502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.
