Wanting to Upgrade Harddrives without Reformatting
I have a slow aging 160gb drive and I want to upgrade to a new drive WITHOUT reinstalling and starting over from scratch.
No one wants to go back from the beginning to reconfigure. The PC is quite problem free, with all the latest updates of Windows and all installed softwares. It has no viruses/spywares or unwanted programs or files present so there's no reason to reformat.
I want to copy ALL the files from the old slow drive to the new fast drive and on the software side minimal changes. Is it possible to do this legitimately?
It's running on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.
