Ok, so my friend is building a new computer from scratch on a really tight budget, so to alleviate costs a little I'm giving him an old HDD that was in a pre-built PC. It has windows 7 home premium, but it is an OEM version.
I've heard that you cannot re-install windows with it, and as it is going into a completely new system, a full re-install will almost certainly be necessary. I have the product key for it, but no recovery disc/ system image backup disc....
I've heard that it may be possible to activate through "phone activation", but I really need exactly what I may have to do to get this HDD working with the new system. Thanks for any and all help!
