Hello everyone
I will be getting an SSD tomorrow so I've been looking around a bit, but nowhere could I find what I really wanted: what I want is just to install Windows 8.1 on my SSD and then remove my 2 HDD partitions and make them 1 again, and format it so it'll be clean again. I don't really care about lost data, it's mostly Steam and Origin games anyways. I only have a Windows 8 key and not a Windows 8.1, but that shouldn't really be a problem, right? With that said, what is the best way to go about this? Install Windows 8 on my SSD, activate it, format my HDD, put together the partitions and then update everything on my SSD? I don't really know, have any of you got any experience with this?
Just one more small question, not as important, and probably not in the right forum, but still, does the cable matter for the SSD or is it all about the ports on the motherboard? Are there seperate S-ATA 2 and 3 cables?
Thanks in advance
