Another Win7 OEM question

Wondering before I install Win7 on what may end up not being the final HDD, will it cause problems if I install the OEM copy on this HDD, and in a few weeks reinstall it onto a different HDD in the same computer? Am I going to have to call Microsoft to re-activate, or will it just reinstall no problem?

Possibly a silly question, but one I can't find the answer to...

Thanks in advance!!

Probably not an issue. You could always just not activate for now - you get 30 days from first install before you "have to".
 
Been changing HDDs regularly on 3 computers - never had to reactivate. If the only change is the HDD (cloned the old to the new) the hash doesn't normally trigger a change requiring reactivation.
 
Hopefully I won't have a problem! These will be clean installs, for me while I use the computer, and then I will reinstall it once the 'customer' is ready for it 🙂
