i have Windows 7 (1 user) can i change hard drive

[jayjay5396]

hoping to change hard drive and install the disc i bought but its a windows 7 pro 64bit 1 user OEM already installed on my current drive can it be installed on a new hard drive?

any hard drive recommendation would be helpful? looking for 2TB

You are ok. A oem license is tied to the motherboard.

FWIW, consider first migrating to a ssd; it makes everything so much faster.
Repurpose your hard drive for the extra storage.
As to a 2tb drive, look at a WD red.

You can install Windows on as many hard drives as you want, but only one can be in use at any given time and only in the system (motherboard) it was originally installed in.

As for a recommendation: Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA III 7200 RPM Drive
