I just brought a ssd to give a little boost to my aging laptop, now the problem is, however reinstall the oem os back again? I cannot use the recovery USB stick(it doesn't like the fact that hdd is replaced with something of other size), so how can I get the os back?

backup the OEM key using Advanced Tokens Manager.
then use any windows 7 dvd/iso to install the OS. skip on the key part. then restore the License using Advanced Tokens Manager.

I installed win 7 from copy CD on original purchased laptop,

But now i want to install OEM win7 on same laptop,but when i started Advanced Tokens Manager its showing different key (other than written on back sticker on laptop).

So please help me how can i install OEM win 7 without any backup(new install), as i have not any CD /DVD for this.Thanks
