Im starting to build a new pc and i have a question.
Lets say i have a full pc fresh with nothing not even OS. Then i have this one used and functional.
For reference this PC has windows 8 and windows 7 in 2 different drive partitions.
I want to install windows 8 in the 2nd pc's harddrive.
Can i plug in the 1st HDD in the 2nd pc along with the existant blank drive and install windows 8 in there using a ISO image file?
