So I've been using the same copy of Windows for about 6 years now, and I have long since lost the disk for it. I also just got a Macbook Pro for school, and I wanted to know if there was any way for me to use the copy of windows thats on my computer to make a usb installer for boot camp, or if I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy a new copy of windows.

if you have license key for windows you can download installation disc image of your windows version and use it to make bootcamp installer

yeah what would i know about cameras or cinematography compared to you tech people.  i've only done this work for nearly 20 years, won a few awards, worked in over a dozen different countries and a few multi million dollar projects

If OP goes to that site while using something else than Windows, site will give out ISO without having to provide key.
