Hi All
This may sound a bit odd, but I currently sorting out upgrading my processor, motherboard, memory, and will be getting a new ssd, but what I wanted to know was can I still boot win 7 from the old ssd with the new bits installed.
Basically I use the computer 6 days a week, so Sunday is my only spare day and last time when I upgraded my hd to an ssd in short I unplugged the old one, starting setting up the new one, then when done unplugged it and put the old one back until the new one had everything I needed on it.
This time however it's the main bits, so didn't know if I could just swap out the mb, pro and ram, but plug the old ssd in and boot from there. It would just makes life so much easier if I could do that until the new ssd is sorted, without having to worry about missing something, that I suddenly find I need and haven't got.
I hope I made that clear
