Clean Re-Install of Win7 with new Hardware
So I just got a real steal deal on a new i5-2500K and an Asrock z68 motherboard from Microcenter; and have some new G.Skill DDR3 on the way from Newegg.
I am an AMD build, to an Intel build... which will be my first Intel in 10 years; I got into AMD back with the old K6-2's...
Anyway, I am running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
I am going to pull out all my AMD stuff eventually, motherboard, Phenom II 955, and its Ram kit; then replace it all with the Intel parts.
Obviously, I am going to want to do a complete, total wipe of my HDD, and reinstall from scratch off a clean slate.
Before I do that, I would like to know the best option for backing up most of my data.
Go I go.. PCName>>>Local Disk (C)>>>Users>>>Myname
...and just copy/back up the entire "Myname" folder; which contains all the AppData, My Docs folders, etc ?
Then copy that all back onto the new installation?
