So i have an HP-Elite that i've upgraded a couple times, added a new PSU, GPU, and a couple case fans. I know that further down the road i'll need to upgrade from my FX-6100 cpu, along with a new motherboard, and a more spacious case.
Will i be able to do this with the hard drive and the copy of Windows 7 that came with the computer, or would i be forced to buy a new copy+new hard drive? there is an HP recovery Partition on the hard drive and i only have a recovery disk.

 
Solution
Nope, Just wipe the existing copy of windows off of it. I would advise backing up the rest before hand though, if possible.
