This here is what I am talking about.
Changing a hard drive or anything else other than a motherboard,
Should not require you to purchase a new operating system.
The simple way to fix the activation problem. Is to change your key
to the one on the back of the machine and activate. You may or may not
need to phone it in. Just tell them you replaced a hard drive.
