How can I get my installation of windows in my new pc

My pc packed earlier, essentially the coprocessors and the motherboard has failed.

I had Windows Vista and Windows 7 is installed as a dual-boot options. Vista is an upgrade on XP, 7 was also an upgrade, but I have it installed as a new installation.

I decided to build a new pc, re-using many parts of my old, including hard drives, but obviously using a new card motherboard and CPU.

I really don't want to pay for Windows, microsoft have had more than enough money out of me over the years.

I am not too concerned by will work for Vista, but I want to reuse my license of Windows 7. I have the discs for Windows 7, can I have the disks for Vista but XP was installed when I originally bought my old PC and didn't come with any disks.

Ideally, I would stick my old hard drive in my kit and it work just but I'm not naïve enough to think that will happen. Anyone can give a direction would be appreciated.

Well, to install the Windows 7 upgrade, you actually have a license of previous qualifications, since it is an upgrade version. Or your original OEM of Windows XP or Vista Upgrade eligible because XP can not be transferred to a new computer and Vista upgrade cannot be used for product calling itself being an upgrade. You really should use a full version.

You can give the following a try if:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
