It was just a temp fix that has lasted a few months...I work alot,plus I had built my first pc and I didn't want to have to re-tweak all my Windows settings. Lazy? Yeah. Now the holidays are rolling around and I have a little more time on my hands. Plus,I do know that a fresh install of Windows is the best option,and this time I plan to keep an image of my new drive thanks to Acronis,and load that when I want a fresh install.

If that serial is for your copy of Windows,it can be only used once. You can't activate one Windows disc on multiple pc's,unless you have a business IMO.

No! Call Microsux service and tell them how you upgraded. An upgrade is acceptable for them, a new machine is not. Same thing happened to me and when I said I did a fresh windows install because of adding hard drive and video card they gave me the key over the phone.
General rule to go by: Memory, burner, hard drive = upgrade = key
Motherboard, processer = new computer = no registered key (legally)
