I had to replace my hard drive but can no longer read the MS label on the bottom. Is there another way to activate my OS

If you use the HP recovery discs you don't need to activate.

 

You will not be able to get another key if that one is rubbed off.

 

You can order HP recovery media here, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

If HP no longer has Recovery Media for your model, order them here
