So I got excited waiting for all of my parts to come in for my new build and over the weekend I decided I would take my old computer apart and give the case a good cleaning since I'm reusing it. So I removed everything and now my case is looking like it did the day I purchased it.
What I forgot to do though was to prep the hard drive for moving to a new computer. I did however purchase an SSD that I plan to install a new, clean version of Windows 7 on. I want to keep all of my files/pictures/movies etc from the old hard drive, but remove Windows 7 from it.
Are there any special considerations I need to keep in mind to avoid losing the other data when I remove Windows?
