I'm building a new rig and planning to install Windows 8.1 on an SSD as the boot drive. I'd like to move over my HDD with Windows 7 boot from my old machine to the new PC to use as a storage drive.
Do I have to format the HDD in my old machine first or can I just install it to my new rig as is...
I have windows 7 installed on my PC but need to format the hard drive and re install windows 7. I have tried inserting the windows 7 cd but it seems to install the new copy and keep the old but I need to wipe everyting off so I can install some software I am having a problem with.
If anyone...
I want to install windows 7 on to my windows vista laptop. I have to wipe the hard drive my backup is on the same disk in a different partition. Will the wiping of the hard disk for the installation wipe the backup partition as well?
i if you know the answer post and thank you
