Which was before they started hiding the license key deep in the system. I used a Windows 7 disk that I had laying around and was able to enter the license key on the sticker below the battery to activate it successfully.
No idea if I would have been able to do the same thing with Windows 8 and newer, we will see if they use the same licensing method for Windows 10.
