Keeping Old HDD as a Backup?

[IrrationalShark]

Hey all,

So I will be overhauling my computer soon and I am planning on buying a new HDD along with a new case, motherboard and CPU. However, I would like to keep my current HDD as a backup drive.

Assuming my current HDD is compatible with everything, what steps do I need to take to ensure that it doesn't conflict with my new motherboard? What drivers should I uninstall, do I have to uninstall windows, etc.

Thanks,

Install Windows on the new HDD and then wipe the old HDD. Simple as that.
