Hi guys, I really need help. First of all, a bit of background. I built the PC myself and it currently has a 1 TB Caviar Black HDD. Recently, windows started telling me to backup my stuff because their were issues with the drive. I have Windows 8 right now, so I did a refresh, but now the computer freezes randomly every hour or so. I ran the defragger and tells me it's 20% fragmented but when I try to optimize it'll just freeze and/or won't do anything at all for hours.
So my guess is that the HDD is indeed the problem. For that reason I'd like to upgrade to an SSD and re install Windows there; however, I have quite a few questions. I originally bought Windows 7 and installed that, but upgraded to Windows 8 through their upgrade assistant.
My question is, how would I go about switching Windows 8 to the SSD? I'd like to keep the old HDD for storage only, is that possible? Any help would be appreciated, I'm pretty worried right now.
