Hello everybody.
I have a small question to ask and I hope to get some answers.
I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate in a 1 TB WD hard drive for my build a couple years ago. Then, some unfortunate things happened and my rig was laying around for a good two years without startup. Now, I've managed to fix things and want to continue my passion towards OCing but I have a small question regarding Windows 7.
I've got some funding and I'm planning to get a new hard drive, probably a WD Velociraptor or maybe even a SSD. I want to have the OS on this hard drive/SSD.
My question is, is there any way I can 'move' or 'transfer' Windows 7 from my old drive to the new one. I guess a reinstall would be necessary but how about the serial number? Or must I get a fresh copy of Windows 7?
Thank you very much for reading my post. Appreciate it.
Have a nice day,
Eleska
**EDIT**
I forgot to mention that I have a 64-bit version. Thanks again.
