Hello,
Three years ago, I got an HP computer with Vista. Last year, I purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade disk through my University for a low price (Academic License? I don't know if it is retail or OEM or different. All i got was a disk with a product key). I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 by clean install.
Now I am essentially building a new computer. I have all new parts, except optical drives. I plan on using the hard drive that windows is currently installed on in the build for storage (I will format this drive). However, I want to install Windows 7 on my brand new SSD.
Will this work since i am essentially "moving" windows to a new drive in a new computer? Or is there a way that it will work? I will not have Windows on two hard drives.
Would this be a candidate for the phone activation?
