I currently have one 500GB HDD. I am adding a 120GB SSD and I plan to move my OS (Windows 7) to it and one or two apps that I use a bunch. Everything else that is currently on the existing drive will stay there, including my daughters 12 SIMS games. I have my WIndows 7 ISO and key, so no problem there. Here is what I can figure out:
1. I am assuming I need to make the new OS drive designation C:/ and change the old drive to D:/. Do I need to reinstall all the apps on the old HDD due to the letter change? Or can I just open the desktop shortcuts and change the path?
2. Once the OS is installed on the new drive, how do I delete it off the old drive?
3. Instead of doing 1, can I just call the new drive D:? and change the bios (or ...?) to look to D for the OS instead of C:?
Thanks.
