Hello everyone,
I just recently built a system about 3 weeks ago at first I just bought a western digital caviar black and windows 7 and upgraded it by purchasing windows 8.1 by downloading it from Microsoft. A few days ago I bought an SSD with the intention of somehow getting windows 8 on to this but I have not been able to find any ways on the internet or through trying myself and when I try to do a full system reset it asks me to "Insert media" but I do not have any as I downloaded it from Microsoft although I do have a product key for the download and Kept my old Windows 7 OEM Service Pack 1 (Which for some reason does not have a product key). When I try I do not feel like downgrading then having to spend another 130 dollars to upgrade again. I have tried using Samsung's data migration but it has not worked, and whenever I check the BIOS even though everything is hooked up only the western digital shows up, Although when I check the disk management utility it displays both of them as online the western digital shows up as "Healthy, System, Boot, Crash dump" and so on and the Samsung shows up as "E: Active, Primary partition" If anyone could help me with these 2 issues, I'd appreciate it, Thanks.
Extra Info: It is a samsung 840 evo 256 GB (I plan on using it to run demanding applications as well). This is my first build so if I did not properly use any terms, Sorry in advance.
