E Etainz Honorable Nov 19, 2013 7 0 10,510 Nov 22, 2013 #1 Can I expect to run into any problems by installing a new OS on a new SSD using my old computer while I wait for the rest of my parts to arrive? Just trying to save myself some time, no point if it'll end up creating more problems than time saved.
