Windows 7 Activation after hadware change and clean install later on
I while back I put a new hard drive in & swapped out a stick of Ram for a bigger one in a Toshiba laptop (OEM Key) at the same time.
I had to re-activate it by calling Microsoft up and do the phone verification to get the confirmation ID.
It has been activated without issues for a while.
If I do a clean Windows install now will my original Product key work correctly or will I need to go through the phone verification again each time Windows is reinstalled on this machine?
I don't have the conformation ID characters when I did the phone verification.
Thanks
