Shifting Win7 partition
Years ago, I installed Win7 as dual boot on an old XP box my family uses. The XP partition was shrunk, and Win7 took up the back half of an 80GB drive. Now that the Win7 partition is getting critical in size, I want to fully replace the XP partition with the Win7 and give it the entire drive. What would be the best way to go about this?
My first attempt resulted in deactivation (I suppose some of the robocopy settings I used to pass over the hibernation and page files also skipped licensing). If I didn't know better, I would also have lost the Win7 partition.
So I'm mainly concerned with keeping the licensing intact, and also avoiding drive letter issues if possible.
If there is a way to simply extend the front of the Win7 partition, that would probably be my first choice.
