Question:
A while ago i built a pc myself and i stalled the OEM System Builder Pack of windows7 on my hard drive. But recently I'm planning to buy a solid slate drive
So my question is pretty much can i can install the same windows7 with same activation keys on different hard drive on the same computer. If i can i will just simply reinstall my window on the SSD. If not, is there any ways to solve this problem so i dont have to buy another window?
Answer:
Can I reinstall my windows 7 on a new hard drive? - Microsoft AnswersYes, you can reinstall OEM on the same computer with a different hard drive after deleting the old installation. You can't move OEM to a different computer. You may need to call to activate.
Call Microsoft Using Manual Phone Activation
If you are currently installing Windows - at the Enter Your Product Key page, do not enter your key and uncheck "Automatically Activate When Online" then click OK/Next to finish the installation.
If you have trouble activating Windows 7 open the Windows Activation Wizard while in Windows 7 to obtain a phone number to call Microsoft and activate Windows:
1. When you reach the desktop click Start, then in the Search box type: slui.exe 4
2. Press Enter on your Keyboard
3. Select your Country.
4. Select the Phone Activation option, then call the number given and hold for a real person.
