I bought a PC from OCuk at the start of the year and it had installed on it Windows 7 OEM. My HDD has become pretty unstable now and is causing problems, so I want to back this one up onto a spare drive, and then do a fresh install of windows 7 onto a new drive.
I know if you contact microsoft and explain the situation of changing a faulty drive and give them your old windows product key, they will give you a new one, but I only have the product key and no Windows 7 disc - plus seeing as I'm not changing the motherboard I wouldn't normally need one. However because I don't have a disc I'm not sure. Do I need to get a disc from ocuk/microsoft? How do I go about this?
