Ok I am installing a ssd. I am debating whether to clean install or clone.
I have down loaded the easeus frree software in prep.
I was going to clean install but was worried about the win 7 product key. I purchased my pc from company called palicomp 5 years ago and came with win 7 oem. I have the disk and product key. But I have heard some stories that there are issues when re installing and the product key not working.
Also the issue of added all the drivers again.
So I thought I would clone and downloaded said program. In the guidelines of Easeus they say if you have a portioned hdd then used partition clone if not use clone disk. I did not think I did but on checking there is a bit with system reserve 100 mb. So I am now unsure which to do is the system res a partition?
thanks in advance
