I recently got a new hard drive for my Dell Latitude e6410, but the product key is not included with the laptop when I got it nor is the installation disk itself. Is there any way to reinstall Windows 7 with all the necessary drivers for the computer itself? I'm having a lot of trouble with this and I'm at the end of my rope in trying to figure this out. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Note: Windows 7 went end of life in January, 2020 -- no further security updates since that time. It's a risky OS to use online at this point; Windows 10 is a better idea.

The product key is on a label under the battery (assuming it shipped from Dell with Windows 7).
The reinstall procedure is here:
