C: Drive swop drive for larger faster one?
I own a legal Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. I mistakenly loaded this onto a new 500GB 5400rpm drive thinking that it would be much quieter as I have another four 7500rpm SATA drives running with two of them in RAID 1 for photograph and documents. Of course now i find that the 5400rpm speed is much too slow for my workflow.
The C: drive only contains Windows and programs.
Is there any method whereby I can change the 5400rpm C: drive for a 2TB 7500rpm or 10000rpm drive without having to reload the OS and every program?
I have read about "imaging software" but can this work with the set-up I have described and also will I be able to authorise same with Microsoft?
Surely by now Microsoft could have produced a method where a licensed OS and its installed user programs could be easily transferred to a new disk?
