Few if any manufacturers support an operating system other than originally
installed.
Installing another OS will not void the warranty as some may suggest but it
may be necessary for you to put your computer back to the original OS at
your time and expense before any warranty support.
>From your description, the Pro disk with the original computer was OEM.
Normally OEM is permanently tied to the original computer regardless the
condition of the original computer.
This is one of the many reasons you paid less for your OEM license to begin
with.
Read the specific EULA for details.
When the computer was stolen, the OEM OS was also stolen and should be
included as part of the insurance claim..
