Replacement product key sticker?

    I purchased a thinkpad x61 on eBay. There was a product key sticker on its underside but there was also another product key in a CD sleeve. The thinkpad has W7 on it so I'm guessing the sticker in the CD sleeve is for W7 and the one on the underside is for an older version of Windows (probably XP).

    I checked the validity of both keys and only the W7 was working. I took the XP sticker off the underside of the laptop. I don't suppose it's possible to get a replacement product key sticker for the W7 one to stick on the thinkpad (the one in the CD sleeve has seen better days)?

    Perhaps I have waaaaaay too much time on my hands but I'm just curious. I'm thinking a begging email to Lenovo might be the solution?

    Put it inside the battery compartment and its less likely to become illegible.

    If you want it to look legitimate, like you need it to sell it to someone, just grab a picture of a CoA off google images, photoshop your number onto it, print it on some stickyback paper, cut it out and paste it into the battery compartment.
