Win7 OEM disk new HD install. What do I need?

I have Win7 64bit Pro OEM version installed from original Windows disc installed and operating now.

I have a new HD. It is a larger capacity than the one I am using at the moment.
I would like to use the new larger HD for the primary and use the smaller HD for the storage.
Installing the OS I understand and already did on this PC.


Will I need a new activation key?
If so where do I get it?
Is there something else I need?
Is there a simpler solution?
Is there a thread already that explains this? If so I searched for over 30 minutes with no results.

Links to the right info would help if it already exists.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

We'll take it as read that you know how to "swap your drives".
You won't need a new key but you may have to activate "by phone" as it's a hardware change.

Just read it's OEM, apart from what I've said above I've had no other issues and I've done the same as you are planning.

Yes I can swap the drives.
Brinks tutorials took care of what I didn't know.

By phone to whom?

Doc
I read that tutorial and was planning that after the new HD is installed.

Will that image install to a new HD or only to the original? That wasn't included in the tutorial.

Thanks Doc!

That was what I needed to know.

Greatly appreciated.

Found this if it becomes necessary. Activation and registration link. Phone #'s etc.
Activation and registration of a Microsoft product

I will try the imaging first.

If activation is needed, just follow the link at Computer>Properties to insert your Product Key.

If an automated call is needed, it will prompt you with phone number.
