Rebuilding.

[kRze]

Rebuilding so to say. New mobo/cpu/memory/gpu/psu/case etc.. I think the only things I will be keeping are my old hard-drive which is a 74G WD Raptor, which only has windows xp pro on it and hopefully windows xp. My question is after rebuilding everything in my new case I wanted to reformat my Raptor and put a fresh install in windows into... but would I have to buy a new license since its like a new computer? Or what do you pro's tell the microsoft people when you do major upgrades to keep the same windows activated instead of buying a new license?

It was an OEM version from NEWEGG.COM.

if the old system was taken out of service, and your still using the heart of the system (old drive) you should just use your same key. if you end up having to call microsoft, lie.

There should not be a problem.
