Hi my new Silverstone Fortress case arrived today and im wondering when i move my parts over from my HAF will i need to reinstall windows? Why im asking is i sold a case a while ago and forgot to take my windows vista serial number off the case so now i dont have my serial number.
 
Assuming your motherboard, hard disk, etc will stay the same, and the only hardware you are changing is the case, then you won't need to reinstall (just make a note of which port your hard disk was in).

If you do want to reinstall windows, and can still boot into your current install of vista, there are peices of software out there that can tell you the CD key you installed with.

When your PC is up and running in the new case use the above to retrieve your product key then write it down and don't lose it ;)
