You can download a copy of Windows 7 with SP1 and use the product key located on the COA sticker at the bottom of your laptop (or in the battery compartment).

OEM computer manufacturers are required to provide at least one way for you to reinstall Windows if you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled - your computer should have included either a restore partition
on your hard drive, or Windows install/restore disks. Most computer manufacturers also have a feature to make your own install disks.
If the restore partition is still there and was not removed, it will reinstall Windows. There is usually a prompt when you first start the computer telling you what key to press to start the restore -
check your manual if you're not sure how to. Or if you have install disks - insert them, restart and boot from them to start the reinstall process.
If you restore it to factory condition, it will be like it was when you first bought it - all preinstalled programs will be installed. Anything you installed after buying it
must be reinstalled. This will remove any personal files on the computer, back them up first.
