Tutorial on how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?
I want to buy an SSD, and make a fresh installation on the SSD. But how can I do it, since Windows OEM is only allowed to be installed on 1 hard drive, which is the current HDD. What do I need to do in order to delete Windows 7 from the HDD, and make a clean install of it on the SSD?
Thanks! |

Thanks, I was just wondering what will happen if I will install Windows 7 on the SSD, and not formatting the installation from the old drive, is that possible?

By unplugging all other HD's you'll make sure a Dual Boot is not created with the extant OS, and boot files are not mistakenly written or moved to another HD's partition which might be preceding the install partition or errantly marked Active.
When you plug back in the other HD after install, you can of course access it's files through Explorer, but you can also boot it using the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key. When ready to delete the OS either delete its partition in Disk Mgmt, or wipe the HD of all code to get it cleanest using Diskpart Clean Command |
