    Okay, thanks everyone I know the order that I will do it now. I'm going to now:

    1) Copy files to external drives

    2) Format current HDD

    3) Install windows 7 to SSD

    4) Use activation key from copy of windows 7 (I built this computer so it's not on the computer itself.)

    5) Move user folders back to HDD

    6) Right click on user folders on the HDD (highest level folder of Docs, Pics, etc.) and INCLUDE them into the appropriate library.
