Can I use a Windows 8 OEM COA to activate a Windows 7 OEM hard drive?
This is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway.
If I put a hard drive with windows 7 into an almost identical laptop it'll know the keys don't match BUT the new laptop has a key on it that is matched to the BIOS, the trouble is that the key on the new laptop was for Windows 8.
What do you think the odds are that the key for Windows 8 that matches the new Laptops BIOS will be accepted by the Windows 7 hard drive and allow it to work?
