put the key again. unless this HDD is from a prebuilt then it will moist likely be a OEM where it is tied to your old pc's motherboard/cpu so you will have to get a new copy of windows

Get a USB and transfer your documents,files and stuff onto there, or if you have a extra hard drive/ssd just plug that in and put it on there
