Yeah what your friend says is very likely what happened. They cheaped out on you. It's fine to use the same disc, but they are supposed to purchase new keys to use with the install disc. Tell them you want a new key. They should owe you that. Usually Windows will give 90 days on a windows install before you start getting the non genuine messages.

Would it be a problem if I am able to reinstall the backup Windows on my laptop (I've not checked to see if I am able to yet)? If not I'll have to pay them a visit on the weekend.

No that should work, as long as you have the registration key. If it is the same version of Windows you may not even need to run the install, just enter the key.

I believe I do man, that would save a lot of hassle! I'll give that a go when I get the chance and update the post afterwards. Thank you!
