Hey guys

Bought the missus a laptop, want to swap out the mechanical HDD for an SSD, if I do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 will it allow me to use the embedded OEM product key to activate it? Or will I have to get a new product key?

Ta :)
 
The Windows 8 disk should pickup the key and activate from looking in the BIOS. I did a OEM install about a year ago, all went smoothly.
