Hello, everyone.
I would like to upgrade my old Dell Precision by replacing the original HDD with a SSD. I want to make a clean OS (Win7 SP1 Pro) installation, however I'm a bit concerned about its activation.
The problem is that the original recovery DVDs have gone long ago, recovery partition seems to be missing as well (might have been deleted by the previous owner). If I just take another Win7 Pro image and use it to reinstall the system, will I be able to activate it? Will that make my Windows copy genuine?
Thank you in advance.
