I am currently on my old computer which has a new hard drive i put in it as my old one crashed a few months ago. I just scrummed up some cash and put together a 1200$ computer, but didn't purchase a hard drive or PSU as they both work fine in this one. However i was doing some research and it seems as though i might run into some problems with programs interfeering with eachother such as from my old graphics card and old mobo mixing with the new software of my new mobo and gpu and such. Not only that but it seems as though everyone is talking about not being able to move old hard drives to new computers as it will say invalid key and such if i somehow manage to wipe my hard drive prior to placing in the new system. I have the windows 7 disk and key, if i do a factory reset on this hard drive and put it in my new system and place the windows cd in it and type in the key, will i be set or will i run into issues? The windows cd i have is actually from an earlier computer i had before the one i am right now and it worked fine when i installed it onto this hard drive. Hopefully someone can help, im trying to figure this all out but it seems an amateur like me wont ever be able to.
