Hi, I recently put together a new desktop but forgot to purchase a harddrive, so I took out the harddrive from my laptop and was planning to use it for the desktop (temporarily). I read on other posts that the OS (windows 7 in my case) is tied to the motherboard that it is originally installed on; therefore, when I turn on my new desktop it doesnt exactly boot up, but stops at the start screen.
I was wondering if there is a way to install windows 7 where it will replace the previous windows 7, but not harm any of my personal files in the hard drive.
