I'm preparing a new build. My old PC's C: drive is a 1TB HDD with Win7 on it and all my software installations.
On my new build I was planning to use an SSD for Win10.
Can I just plug my old C: drive into that system and delete the old OS so I don't have to back up the entire drive and reformat? I know I'll have to inplace reinstall much of the software, but it would still be easier.
I'm thinking Win7 may have some protection on their files keeping me from cleaning it out completely.
