Placed my order with ocuk cannot wait been nearly a decade since my last build got couple questions to brush up on the build procedure.
Im upgrading from xp to windows 7 (retail version) onto another new hhd, (new motherboard does not support ide so old hhd end up redundant) assume I boot from windows 7 cd what should i do to prepair the hard disk or do they now come preformatted?
Dug out some blank dvd-r to backup my document files on xp is there any other system files i should back up to carry over onto windows 7?
With no other pc on the net anything I should download in advance like drivers for new hardware first or just go by whatever cds come in the box first?
Motherboard bios in particular never updated before hows this done?
thank you
