    Installing Windows on new Hard drive-Do I keep my license?


    Hi

    My hard drive failed and I was wondering if I install a new drive and load fresh Windows, do I keep my license?

    At present I use a digital license. Also I'm NOT changing the motherboard.

    I have no recovery disc or anything, it would be a clean, fresh install.

    Thank you.

    :)
