Thread: Change disk without changing licensing Seven

This same PC has 2 hard drives of 500GB each for a total of 1TB raid0 function with pre-installed. The raid0 does not interest me because I think it is not enough to push the performance of a machine compared to a SSD. I do not want to discuss performance raid0 vs SSD. One approach to the subject. Actually I plan to replace the master drive with a SSD to enjoy better performance. I repeat, my choice to take an SSD is done I do not want to discuss this. According to " subject ", I would assume that it is an OEM Windows to be installed on my machine and I understand, from the moment I do not changemy motherboard, I right and opportunity to maintain that license. Is this true?How do I proceed

This is the case. Or you can just create the recovery DVD to reinstall your OS on your SSD, or use a soft disk duplication or disk imaging (like AcronisTrueImage).

But I wonder if the fact that the SSD will undoubtedly greatly in size below the original hard drive (500 GB or 1 TB) will not be a problem at the time of restoration by use of these famous DVD recovery Such problems size are indeed observed when using the tool built into Windows 7 for a restoration

As I explained what I'm interested in this topic is to know so when you buy a PC with an OEM license for Windows 7 can restore the system to a new hard disk (or moving it to an SSD) with only the tools provided in the purchase, that is to say without be compelled to use "external maneuvers".It is also assumed that this or that "good" cloning software can accomplish this task
