Turbotax desktop, unlike the other Intuit products (Quicken,Quickbooks), includes your hard drive device id as part of the activation so if that changes it invalidates the activation and requires re-activation. Their customer service has no understanding of this and will force you through remedial and unnecessary activities.
Even in you image your hard drive to a larger one and reinstall it in your existing PC, it will invalidate all your activations. Even after they understand the issues, Turbotax is unwilling to provide any assistance to you.
