Basically this is my situation. I currently have an HDD that has the Windows 7 OS. I want to add an SSD with and put a windows 8 OS on it as well as keep my HDD that has the Win7.
What is the basic procedure I have to go through to make this work? Is there a way to delete Windows 7 on the HDD after I installed Windows 8 on the SDD or will windows 8 be unaffected if i keep windows 7 on the HDD. Will programs (mainly my Webroot Spyware) still function optimally?

thanks for the help

Yes though when installing Win 8 you need to have only 1 drive connected or it will install system on 1 drive and swap file on other drive.

when Win 8 is installed you can connect other drive and delete win 7
