Hello!

I had my current desktop computer build 2 years ago, now i am selling it and i want to reinstall windows and format my HDD. Can i just reinstall Windows from the disc that it originaly came in and use the same product key to activate it if I have the exactly same computer then 2 years ago, no components changed?

Thx for help in advance!
 
Solution
YA, very straightforward. I forget whether install-on-top erases the old stuff. For cleanness I would do the NEW install and let it re-create all partitions if it wants to.
