Re-installing Windows XP

So my computer (HP Laptop) is running extremely slow and I want to re-install Windows XP and start with a new slate. The problem however is that I don't have the Windows XP original disc, probably lost it or whatever.

Anyway at the bottom of the HP Laptop there is a Windows XP Professional serial key. So I was wondering if it is possible to download Windows XP somewhere and just type in the serial code?

My computer is at a snail's pace and I was hoping to also make sure it never succumbs to viruses again.

Any advice appreciated
