Okay, so I've done some research, probably not as enthusiastically as I should, into the correct, easiest and fastest way to do this... But, I haven't found the answer that I want to read... So, I figured I'd post here and see if there is an 'in the know' kinda person...
I've recently installed a 2nd hard drive on my computer and I've elected to install Windows 8.1 (because my school gives it for free) onto it. My current hard drive has Windows 7 Ultimate.
I've already run the compatibility wizard thingy and installed all of the items that would not transfer doing a typical "upgrade", so now, what I'd like to do is take everything off of my Windows 7 (internal) hard drive and put it onto my Windows 8 (internal) hard drive.
I presently have both drives installed with a dual boot system in place. I actually have 4 drives installed, but these two drives are the only ones I am concerned with at the moment.
Is there a way to move all of my files (games, photos, user preferences for 4 different users, documents, etc) besides the drag n drop method... I have things that won't work with drag n drop, per say, like World Of Warcraft, Mumble, Ventrillo, email programs, adobe programs etc...
I checked out WET (WinEasyTranx) and I didn't see the option to use an existing drive... and I don't want to corrupt a perfectly good new operating system - Windows will find a way to do that all by itself in soon enough time, why rush it? lol
Ideas?
