Can i reinstall/restore Windows without the restore key?

Hi
I bought a HP compaq dc7100 second hand comp off ebay. It did not come with a restore cd, but there is an XP Product Key label stuck on the tower.
Is it possible to reinstall windows somehow with this product key? I don’t wana lose the legit version of Windows from this computer for updates etc etc, i could use an "unofficial copy" but again i would rather keep it legit.
I s this possible?????????????
