"Re"-Clean install on a new HDD
Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a new SSD to use as my OS and main program drive and then use my current HD for documents, pics, music.
I have a retail version of Win7 64 Home Premium that has been installed on the current HD for about 8 months.
I'd like to do a clean install of Win7 onto the SSD rather than migrate across beacuse I want a "fresh" version of Win7 to work with
So....is the following possible?;
1/ Copy all my documents & "non windows" programs to an external drive
2/ Remove my current HD
3/ Install new SSD
4/ Do a clean install of Win7 onto the SSD using the same disk I originally used
5/ Reinstall the old HD and reformat it thus deleting all data off it
6/ Copy documents to the old HD and programs to the SSD
If not, is there a better way to acheive what I want?
Is it possible to use my original disk to do a clean install on another HD/SSD? I'm guessing this may be problematic?
Many thanks in advance
