I would like to start by saying this may be a really stupid and beginner question.
I have an Alienware Aurora R3(inb4 AW sucks, etc., etc.), and due to my first desktop being an AW I have little knowledge on most things. However, I have recently been trying to get into the technical scene.
I have bought a Samsung 840 EVO SSD (120GB) and I have decided to try and remove W7 from my x2 HDD (500GB in Raid 0) and put it on my SSD for a quicker boot and shutdown speed.
Long story short, I don't know how to do this. Also, in the past I have always remembered having lost EVERY file if I had uninstalled windows. Is there a way around this? Or did I just blindly check boxes and missed the possibility to save all of my data?
TL;DR -
How can I un-install windows 7 from an HDD and put it onto an SSD without having to re-buy it? And do I have to lose all of my files/data on my drives if I un-install w7?
Sorry for the beginner level questions, and thanks to any and all who answer.
