Installing new SSD, when to format old HDD?
My new SSD is coming in the next few hours and Im getting stuff over to my backup HDD. What Im curious to know is when should I format my old HDD with the old win7 OS? In case something goes wrong with the new install I'd like to have the old install as standby.
If I successfully install the new OS on the SSD can I plug in the old HDD and reformat it with the old win7 installs still inside? Meaning I would have 2 win7 OS drives connected to my computer when attempting to reformat the old HDD.
Is this safe to do or should I install the new win7 OS on the SSD, unplug it, then plug the old HDD back to reformat it?
