Hi guys.
A friend of mine recently gave me his old laptop (toshiba satellite running win 7 home premium) which had been stepped on and broken. I pulled it apart and saved the HDD and ram for a rainy day. Prior to this I purchased a dirt cheap 15inch macbook pro. After a few months, the curiosity of mac OS X has worn off unfortunately and I am missing my old windows 7 machine. I did some research and after finding out a fresh install disk of windows is a bit more then i'd like to pay (I'm a student) I decided to try and extract the product key from the now shelled toshiba satellite's HDD. My questions are, Is this possible?, Will the newly installed win 7 on mbp be stable? and How would i go about doing this?
Thank you in advance,
Mitchell
