Thought I would put this in here as it ultimately refers to storage, but please move if wrong.
Am going to increase the size of my current boot SSD from 128 GB up to 240GB.
I am currently running W8, but am having a few problems with some of the games on there (namley SWTOR and cut scenes), so want to dual boot with W7 until they get their lives sorted and fix the snags.
As I have never done this before, here is what I think I should do....
1 - Clone current SSD to new SSD using something like Clonezilla
2 - Remove 'old' SSD and put in 'new' and reboot
3 - Create partition on 'new' SSD in the free space left over from the cloning process, utilising all unused space
4 - Boot up with W7 install discs and install this to the partition created in Step 3
5 - Enjoy dual boot.........
Is there anything fundamentally wrong with this and if so, what should i be doing instead
