I am currently building a new rig and am trying to reuse a SATA ssd which has on it the windows OS from my old system.
The catch is the SSD has an OEM version of Windows (last PC was just a generic shop bought computer). I presume I will need to somehow remove the OS from the SSD before reloading with a copy of Windows Home (or similar). I am keen to retain data that is on the SSD.
Would appreciate any advice you might have for removing the old OS and then setting up a new version of Windows whilst retaining data on the drive.
