So, you bought a laptop with installed Linux, and want to restore Linux? Do you have (or have created) recover media? You can download any Linux free of charge, and reinstall it on your laptop.

You've posted in Windows forum - if you want Windows, you have to buy Windows, and install it through DVD.
