Old hard drive is bad and I need to install Windows 7 Home Premium on it. I have the original license key. How much of a headache will it be to install my copy of it and use the original license key on a new hard drive? Nothing else will change on the laptop. Can I just call Microsoft with the original key once I have installed the new copy?
