I am thinking of replacing my hardrive.
Problem is i dont have my windows disc. This is a older computer which was prebuilt using the companies windows install disc. I do not have that HOWEVER i do still have the key.
My installation is oem.
If i use a windows oem disc and use the code that the computer is registered with should i be aight?
To sum it up.
Same computer setup except im replacing the Hardrive
Same windows key but im using a different oem disc.
Would it even matter since the discs are the same anyway?
or did the factory do something to there disc that wont let it use another key?
