Hello, I would like to modernize my old computer a bit in the foreseeable future and have bought a so-called upgrade PC. The hard drive of my "old" computer (on which is also the BS WIN 8 pro WMC) I would like to install in the "new" one now with the reactivation? Which product key do I have to use? Got the one from WIN 8, the one from WMC and the current one stored in the system. Thanks in advance
Activate WINDOWS again

A checksum is generated from the hardware configuration existing during installation, which is stored in a database on the activation server together with the product key during activation. If you change critical hardware, including graphics cards, mainboards or hard drives, this checksum changes and activation is only possible over the phone.
Since you are changing the PC, activation by telephone is inevitable. -
Thank you for the quick and understandable answer.
My new parts have not yet arrived, so I cannot report whether everything is working as it should

So.new computer with "old" hard drive is running again and activation via telephone worked without any problems.
Thanks againCan be closed.
