Hello all!
My current configuration features a SSD that is used for boot (Windows 7) and a big HDD. Most of my installed programs are stored on the HDD that has two partitions. What I would like to do is upgrading that single HDD into a RAID 1 configuration. However, my research online has returned mixed results, and I am both not sure how I can (relatively) painlessly carry over my installed programs (well over 100), as well as realize the RAID 1 configuration. Do I have to backup the entire drive first somewhere and then wipe it before setting up RAID? What about my registry entries of my installed programs? I have the feeling there should be an easier way considering the drive is not related to boot, but I am not sure.
I would appreciate any help
All the best, Bob
