Hi,
Let me run you through the history of my PC..
I bought a refurbished 'HP 1070uk' about a year ago. (Full specs here - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02902545)
Near christmas time, I upgraded the GPU and PSU to a GTX 660 Ti and a OCZ 650w Power supply.
Yesterday I bought a new case, a zalman z11 and a new motherboard, a MSI Z77A-G45.
I was just wondering do I have to fork out another £50 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140961618610?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648, to buy a new operating system or can I use my current one? (Windows 7 home premium 64bit)
Not sure if this helps but when I go onto 'My Computer', it shows 2 hard drives, even though I have one, one is my actual hard drive and everything on that is mine. On the other is 'HP_RECOVERY' - http://imgur.com/aOlEIiD
Also, this is my first time upgrading my pc (on my own) any advice/tips? Please give me information about grounding myself, I REALLY don't want to screw up my pc haha!
