I have an existing PC with an official licensed version of Windows Vista
Home Premium but it doesn't have a backup DVD, it only has the backup
partition installed on the hard drive.
As my hard drive is nearly full I wish to change the hard drive for a larger
drive but then I would lose my operating system. Would I be able to borrow a
friends Windows Home Premium OEM DVD that came with his PC and use it to
install the operating system on my new hard drive then use my existing
license number to activate or is the OEM disk somehow only useable on his
PC?
