What is the easiest way to simple upgrade my ssd and hdd drive?
Hello all and thxs for reading this and hopefully answering this in a simple way. My friend built my pc about 3 yrs ago for gaming and my pc is getting alittle older for that now so i am upgrading some things. In addition to a new gpu i was going to upgrade my ssd from a 250gb to 500gb better model samsung. I figured while i was at it i would replace the 1tb hdd to a 2tb one. I originally thought i would just add the new ssd to the pc and do a raid array but after a lot of googling i found out that it was not the best thing to do because it's smaller and not as fast as the new one and i would actually not gain anything because it would be the speed and size of smaller one, at least that's what a few posters said. So i figured it would be easiest to just replace both drives and just put a system image on the new ssd. Again i was wrong according to a bunch of people nice enough to try and help people like me out who are looking for answers it does not work like that. So back to my question. I think i am better off just reinstalling my os or maybe even just switch from win 7 pro to win 10 and just do a manual backup on a external flash drive of my important things this way i can just start from scratch after windows installs with my driver cd and everything would work right. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
