Dumb question time.

Hey guys, heads up ignorance alert!

So I got a Lenovo Z500 laptop and wish to swap out the HDD for an SSD, can I still use the OEM installed Windows 8 that came with the laptop? If so is there somewhere I can legally download a copy of Windows 8 to boot from as obviously I dont have the disk, and also where do I get the product key from as there is no sign of it on any paperwork or stuck on the laptop?

Thanks for any help

Ah its locked to the mobo nice. Ill look into cloning the drive thanks, just wonder if I can plug the ssd into the mobo in addition to the current hdd or whether ill need a sata to usb cable. Will have to open it up and see.

Thanks
