 I'm worried about the condition of my system's hard disk -- it's making
strange noises. I've backed up all apps and data, but I'm considering
replacing it altogether.

I know that it is possible to clone the contents of my disk to a new unit,
but I don't know if this will create problems with my license from
Microsoft.

Can anyone offer any guidance?

 IF It does then you just call Microsoft and they give you a new number to
input. No big deal.

HDD are not usually and issue. Motherboards are more of as pain in the arse!

Hard disk cloning can be deterred by requiring re-activation if the
hardware hashes are substantially different.
