It depends on the package you are using. If you are having the product pre-installed in the system then you don't have to show much effort for the activation of the Windows 7. You can reinstalled Window 7 easily with the Activation key. This can be little difficult only if you are having some hardware changes on the computer.

This is different in case of the retail purchased copy of the Windows 7. If you are using the Purchased copy of the Windows 7 then you can activate it for 5 times with the help of the Internet. There are subsequent activation are also allowed but that must be completed through the telephone. So choose your copy and enjoy.
