Pull old hard drive, install new hard drive, boot off Windows 7 DVD and follow the prompts. Don't enter the key until you have rebooted several times and have all Windows Updates. Make sure everything is working correctly before entering your key. -WS | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell OP760

Did you create the recovery DVDs? That's one of the options you were given when you first booted the computer.
If not, you need to contact HP and have them send you the Recovery DVD. Cost is usually around $20.

Or I could make CD using my Dell and just use the key on the bottom of my laptop. Would that work? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion DV6 3000 Series

To clean reinstall without the bloatware you'll need a Windows 7 retail installation DVD. Some OEM installers will work if they are the Windows 7 Installation DVD and not Factory Recovery disks.
Here is how to get a perfect clean reinstall of factory OEM to avoid reinstalling the bloatware and useless utilities: re-install windows 7 | | My System Specs | | |
