Migrating windows to a new SSD! (got some noobie questions)

Hello everyone!
i was searching about my questions online but couldnt find a direct answer.
So i have two hdds rite now C and F (c with windows) and im planning on trimming down C so it will migrate perfectly to a new OCZ 120 gb ssd. Now my problem is that when i migrate to the new SSD the ssd will likely be named C right? if so when i boot with all of my 3 drives in my computer will my computer face any errors since i have a C ssd boot drive and a C hdd storage drive?

I will be using this guide to migrate my windows safely:

How To Migrate Windows 7 to a Solid State Drive - How-To Geek

thank you for any input!

EDIT: also! sorry but i got another question... so if we say that all has gone well can i just delete the original C windows folder to uninstall windows from my old hdd?

Thank you for your response! i was just wondering if i freshly install windows than i will lose all my settings and files for my games and they wont run properly or i will lose my save files right? is there any way i can save all my installed programs and games?

like can i just move my user and program data folders straight into the new ssd? Because im planning to move my game folders from program files (x86) to my other F drive and hoping that they will find the setting files and stuff from the C folders

You'll need to reinstall all Programs. Some games can run from the .exe in Program File but it's not recommended as a long-term thing.

It's best to install OS and Programs to your SSD to benefit most from the better speed. Then copy your User folders to the HD, rightclick each to link it to the related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums.

Only if you run out of SSD space would I then uninstall some lesser-used programs and reinstall them to the HD.

If you want to image or clone over your C to the SSD to see how it performs, you can use the Paragon program recommended or I like the free version of Acronis True Image cloning/imaging which comes with any WD or Seagate in the mix. Free Macrium is also flexible. Macrium - Image your system

sry im a bit confused.. haha thanks for the response btw
so how can i include folders like appdata in the method you have posted?

so bottom line is.. if i just copy and paste the User folder it will mess things up?

The storage drive won't be named C.

The storage drive will acquire a new drive letter automatically. The SSD will be the one and only C.

If you want the best results, and you plan ahead, there's no better option than a clean install.

thanks guys... i will try the paragon migrate program first and i will see if it effects the performance ... and if it does i will do a clean install
Thanks all for your input!
