tldr: I've been using an old HDD that I ripped from an old pre-built. I don't have a copy of an operating system, but I have the key to this one. How do I transfer to a new HDD?

My current hard drive is failing, and I'm going to buy a caviar blue. I don't have a CD for the windows 7 on this computer(I just took the HDD from my old computer which was a prebuilt); however, I do have the key. How do I go about putting this OS on my new hard drive or just transferring my info over to the new one?

That Microsoft download only works for retail and store bought OEM copies it will not work for pre-installed OEM keys.
