Ok so i just bought a new gaming pc with an ADM Radeon graphics card.
The hard drive is pre-formatted and i don't have a windows 7 key to use.
So my question is will i be able to just put my current hard drive in my new computer, even though my current computer has a Nvidia graphics card and drivers, or will i need to uninstall the drivers first?

If you don't format the drive it WONT work. You will get a BSoD due to the drivers being wrong. If you want to use the drive then you will need to format it then use it. However that will remove everything from the HDD so you will lose win7.

Long answer short, you can't do what you want to do.
