Hi guys, need a bit of help. I want to to a fresh installation of Windows 7 to an SSD (Cruical M4 64GB). At the moment I have 2x 500GB HDDs partitioned as follows:
Drive 1
C:\ Win7 Home Premium OEM 64bit
F:\ Programmes
Drive 2
D:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
E:\Storage & Other Games & Steam
What I really don't want to have to do is do a reinstall of flight sim and its add ons and steam games & applications...its been hard work to get it correctly set up with addons and optimised. Obviously "worried" that doing a clean installation on an SSD with Win7 will remove registry information etc! Not sure if theres anyway around it other than presumably doing an ISO image of C:\ Drive onto the SSD, which obviously wont be as good as a clean installation. As for F:\ Programmes, I don't mind leaving most of these applications on the mechanical drive.
What would be the best way forward?
Could I do a fresh installation of Win 7 to the SSD and leave the mechanical drive in place and somehow remove Windows from it?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
