Hi folks,
So I have been using a homebuilt system for the past 4 years which current has 2 1TB HDD's, one with Windows 8 installed on it.
I was looking for an upgrade, and found a good deal on a Dell XPS 8700 so I pulled the trigger and it comes in the mail tomorrow.
Ill be carrying over my 2 1TB HDD's into the Dell, which will then have a total have 3 1TB HDD's. Obviously, 2 of the drives will have an OS installed on them, and I will be using the Win8 install from the Dell moving forward.
So, my question is how should I go about removing the Win8 install on one of the drives I am installing? Should I just delete all of the files on the HDD or do an official "uninstall"? I've just never done this before.
Another question is, the Windows 8 install from the Dell is Windows 8, but my current OS is Windows 8 Pro. Does anyone know if I can use the license number from my Win8 Pro license and, erm, "unlock" Win8 Pro on the Dell Win8 license?
Thanks!!
