How Do I Update The Product Key In Windows 7 After A Restore To A New PC.

Thread needs solution

This has probably been asked before in the forum, but after searching, I cannot find a thread.

How Do I Update The Product Key In Windows 7 After A Restore To A New PC.

I am in the difficult situation that a brand new laptop has gone bad after only a few days.
The Toshiba Laptop keyboard had become intermittent.
Once the replacement laptop arrives I will have to do a restore with Acronis Backup & Recovery Workstation Standalone with Universal Restore 10.11639
The hardware should be identical although hopefully the keyboard will be a better build.
But I will need to change the Windows 7 Product Key to match the replacement computer's Key.
I assume the original key will end up being someone else's after the factory replaces the keyboard and resells the laptop as refurbished.

Can anyone point me to a link to a thread or article on how to update the Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Product Key.

Thanks in advance.
