The hard drive in my laptop crashed. It is not under warranty and I did not receive any backup discs but I think I can get them from Dell. If I replace the hard drive will I have to buy a new copy of windows?

Hello Tom77,
I would request you to refer to this article on Requesting a Microsoft Windows Reinstallation CD/DVD from Dell. Once to you have the Recovery disks, you can re-install the operating system.
Hope this helps!

If you didn't make a set of recovery media when you received the system, see
