I successfully completed a computer build about a year and a half ago and I am no longer satisfied with it's noise levels, fps ratings, and overall performance. I have decided it is time for a new computer build. I don't have $100 to go out and buy another OEM disk, I barely have enough for the build itself ha ha. This is why i was wondering if it is possible to re-use the OEM disk on a new build? I still have the disc and the correct code for Windows 8.1 (it is a legitimate copy). Also it is on my hard drive of my current computer.. If re-using the disc and code isn't an option I was wondering if it is possible to salvage the hard drive of my current computer, which has Windows 8.1, and use it as a boot drive for my new build? Am I better off saving up $150 to buy a new Windows 8.1 OEM disc and a new SSD/HDD? Or is there a way that salvaging the HDD or re-using the old Windows 8.1 OEM disc? Please reply if you have and ideas or thoughts, any advice at all is greatly appreciated!
