I recently bought a new hard drive that i planned on installing windows 7 on but i'm having a problem now when it comes to activating the product key on my new hard drive after i installed the same copy of windows 7 on it. I know you can't have an active product key on more than one windows at the same time but i have no idea how i'm suppose to deactivate it on my old one to then being able to activate it on the new hard drive. I tried this method "https://www.howtogeek.com/124286/how-to-uninstall-your-windows-product-key-before-you-sell-your-pc/" which didn't turn out to work either.
Is there any way for me to even do this or would i have to buy another copy of windows and reinstall it with a brand new product key?
Appreciate the help.
