I am getting a 120gb SSD soon. I am planning on clean installing windows and necessary drivers, but I have a question on my old HDD. Would I still be able to use it and its programs after installing Windows on the SSD. Also, what folders would I delete on the HDD to remove Windows? Thank you!

i did that a couple of years ago... i would install Win on the SSD {C drive}. Backup your old drive files to a different drive, list all programs you want and their serials, and drivers, and clean all off that drive (prob your D drive). Copy your backed up files to the D drive, like My Documents, My Music etc. Reinstall all programs on your new C drive. You can google how to setup the My Docuents on the D drive as your default for docs... do the same for other files, so you have all your docs on the D drive and programs on the C.
