    Replacing Hard Drive from laptop. Do I need license to reactivate software?

    Or is there an application to move everything from one hard drive to another. My laptop has a very small hdd and I am thinking about replacing it but I do not want to find surprises from my software like microsoft office 2007 which I have already installed in 2 computers. I am afraid that if I replace the hdd it will not activate.

    Yes usually the manufacturer of the new harddrive has software available on their site to image the old harddrive completely to the new harddrive using a cd.
    Office Home and Student is good for 3 activations.
    Because you are installing a new harddrive it still may need to be re activated
