Win 7 Ultimate from old computer onto new computer?
About a year ago I bought Win 7 Ultimate and slapped it on my outdated HP a6200n w/ 1GB sapphire 4670 vid card. Anyways over next couple weeks I am ordering bits in pieces for a completely new comp (FX 8150, 1 GB Sapphire 6850, 8 GB RAM [but 16 GB later]), but I'm curious how I need to install Win7.
I plan on yanking my 500 GB from my old comp that I installed Win7 Ultimate on a year ago and using it on the new computer. I've looked around and looks like it will cause problems if I try to use that installation on a completely new computer, so I will need to re-install windows. My question is when I get all the pieces together what would be the best method for me to re-install windows?
Also, will I have problems activating my Win 7 Ultimate onto this new computer since I had already installed/activated it on my old one, even though the old one will no longer have windows 7 as its hard drive will be in the new one? Is it even allowed? I'm pushing my budget pretty hard already with this new comp, I really rather not wait another week or two to buy another operating system.
