I was wondering if I should buy a new OS or if I can restore it.

In case it is necessary, the operating system is windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and the manufacturer of pc is HP.

Hello. I replace my power supply and accidentally broke my hard drive trying to force the speaker in. Oops. Anyway, I bought a new drive, hooked and still does not work. I can only imagine its because there is no OS on the new drive. I don't have recovery discs to try to do. My question is, if I get my hands on a recovery disk, I'll be able to restore windows? Or am I out of luck and need to buy a new operating system all together?

Hello

You are right; you need an operating system disk to reinstall Windows 7 on your new hard drive

There is no need for you to buy a license of Windows 7.

Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery discs for Windows 7 for your computer model to reinstall the operating system, what they will do for a small fee.

It is General Information of Microsoft on the replacement of software:

See you soon.
