    Installing Windows on used SSD


    I have a Crucial M500 SSD with Windows 7 on it. I want to put this SSD in a newer machine. Can I just do a clean install? I'm wondering about alignment mainly, I guess. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Check the alignment using this tutorial:

    Apart from that, just delete the existing partitions during clean install :)
