i just bought a new ssd and am wondering if i will be able to install windows again onto it. i bought an oem version of windows. if not, how should i go about transferring it to the new ssd from my current hard drive?

If you are using the same motherboard, then yes. You can re-install Windows to the SSD.

Be sure to disconnect your hard drive before installing Windows to the SSD. This will prevent install files being spread across the SSD and HDD.

another thing; i just realized the ssd i bought says, "for laptop pc upgrade" that shouldn't make a difference right?

Nope. Won't make a difference.

What make/model did you purchase?

Nice choice. Well done. It will work just fine in any modern desktop rig. Enjoy!
