Activation - restoring an Image to a different hard drive

Thread needs solution

1) Will restoring an Image Backup to a new and different model hard drive (same PC) require me to re-activate.

2) What happens if I change the "Computer Name" on same or new hard drive?

1) No re-activation required, hard disks are not considered new hardware and will not trigger activation

2) Nothing will happen to the disk subsystem if you change the "Computer Name" however this could effect networking for example if you have joined the computer to a Homegroup or Workgroup and the Computer name is what was used to join that group.
