Reinstall, OEM, no backup disk

Hello. New Laptop that came without a reinstall disk. The Key looks like this: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxOEM (but without the x's of course).

What are my options for a reinstall?


Thanks


EDIT: Just thinking ahead.

you should be able to create your own recovery disks. without knowing the full model number of the computer, there is no way to tell you how.

looked but could not find specific instructions for win10. The following, steps should be similar. click start - find PC Help & tools or find PC Recovery Center. Once you are there, it should take you step by step.

If the above does not help, try the following instructions. Link shows win8 but there are win10 instructions

another option would be to just clone your drive. this way it will already have all of your programs installed and save you a lot of time.
