Hi

Dell are goign to replace my laptop on which I have installed a full retail version of Windows 7. Is there anything I need to do on the old machine to make sure I can install and activate the operating system on the new machine?

The replacement will actually be 'exactly the same' model and specification.

Thanks

If you already know how to clone a drive, you are all set. If Windows makes you reactivate, do so. If it gives you trouble, call Microsoft and they will take care of it.
