Hey tomshardware,

I am building a new PC but would like to use my old hard drive. Everything is new except the hard drive and RAM. Do I need to buy a new copy of windows? Or will it be ok to use it from my old hard drive?
 
Solution
If it is OEM you would have to buy a new copy for legal reasons.

If it is a retail copy, you can just reinstall on the new system as long as it is ONLY on one system.
