Evaluation Copy to Purchase Copy

I have a stupid question, I'm currently running Windows 7 Evaluation copy and a couple of days ago I received my purchase copy of Windows 7. My question is "Do I have to re-install Windows 7 or can I just change the serial number? in Windows 7". Any any case I'm not going to attempt to do this until after December 10 for I need this computer for school and don't want to take a chance in screwing up this computer.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows that answer.

If you have an evaluation copy, you should be able to enter the product code and activate it.
