I have decided to take the hard drives from my old rig and stick them in my shiny new one that im building on Christmas. The problem is I will be getting three drives:
Drive A (SSD-New)
Drive C (HDD-Windows HDD)
Drive Z (HDD-Multimedia Drive)
Since Windows is installed on C, and i want it on the SDD i would have to do a clean install. No problem, UNTILL i realize that I have an upgrade version. Which means that i will have to use the old installation to install OVER. I want to use the same windows 7 key for the new rig, but put it on the new SSD.
So in short I want to install my Windows 7 Upgrade on Drive A when its installed onto drive C. Is there a way to format the drive then install all in the same go around so i can keep my one key?
(I would have formatted Drive C, but then I wouldnt have an OS to install over...)
