I wanted something similar.  My T420 came with Windows 7 and is now running
Ubuntu GNU/Linux.  I asked if they could send me a CD and activation key so
I could load the Windows that I paid for into a VirtualBox (as I find
running Windows to QA websites I build is useful).  But they told me that
the Windows that came with the machine was keyed to the machine so that
they couldn't do this.  Seems morally wrong, but there are few morals in
business, I suppose...
