I bought OOTP 8 last year and upgraded to 10 this year... LOVE IT

I have 2 questions, here is background first.

Now I am tnoight going high speed wireless internet at home. (the son will now play xbox live and daughter is getitng netbook at Christmas so well need wireless!!)

AOL who I have been with for 12 years goesnt supply the service I need in my area, so I am swtiching ISP and this means email addy.

Now this weekend I am upgrading my computer, likely getting it gutted. Its been preforming porrly for a couple of years really.

Now my questions are around likely reinstalling OOTP.

I figure I could simply back up on disk the 2 folders in my computer that contain OOTP 10 and pop them back into the same paths with the new computer.

Question 1: Will this work?

Question 2: I dont mind doing a complete reinstall, but since I am changing my email addy, who do I tell at OOTP HQ so if I need the install key, I can prove I am who I am!! (Isnt the install password/key sent via email?)
