Hello,
I recently bought a WD2002FAEX 2TB HDD. I am going to clone my current OS drive onto it. It is Windows 7 64bit Pro Upgrade.
As I understand it, after I am done cloning my to my HDD I must reactivate Windows 7 upon start up from the new drive. Is this correct, and if so, do I need my Windows 7 CD key?
Finally, if my new drive fails for whatever reason, can I go back to my old drive (with the OS still installed), plug it in, and reactivate Windows 7 yet again on that drive?
