Solved New HD, Need to install the same Vista OS.

[MrFixit]

I am installing a new Seagate Hybrid Hard Drive. I want to do a clean install of the original OS (Vista Home Premium 64bit) which came with my computer. How do I do this, and what (if anything) do I need to do before and after replacing the hard drive?

Alll you need is a Vista install DVD

Thanks Richard, Is that something I need to buy? I have the product key for the original OS. Unfortunately I do not have the dvd because it was already preloaded on my computer.

If they are still in stock, buy from the computer manufactuer for cost, about $25.00
If me I would get an upgrade Seven for about $125
