I want to get a SSD.

[Kyle Clifton]

I want to buy a SSD but I don't want to have to format my old HD. The old HD has windows 7 on it. I was wondering can I unistall the old HD and install windows and drivers on the SSD and turn it off then plug the old HD back in and use it as a secondary HD? Or will it conflict with the boot of the SSD?

I recommend any of the Samsung evos and or pros. I have a evo 840 in my laptop and a evo 850 in my current desktop. I love them completely. I am also running 3 other HD's as secondary drives!

850 Evo for sure it is cheap and very good. You can use the Samsung cloning utility to clone your OS. You can use your other hdd with the ssd as long as it is not a laptop.

So I won't have to delete the old operating system or is that part of the process? Will I be able to access the files as if it was an slave hard drive?

I myself just got and installed a new SSD (Samsung Evo 120Gb) and I cloned all my data from the hard drive to the ssd and then formatted the hard drive. If you wanted to keep your data on the HDD you could just move the data from the SSD you cloned from the Hard Drive back to it again and still have the data on your old hard drive.
