Looking to swap motherboard and operating system ssd

roadkingsmr · Oct 4, 2014

Hello, I want to change out my motherboard and hard drives and need some help!

I have a 2nd gen i7, operating system and programs on ssd, all other files and doc's on a raid 0, and storage on a large drive.
(backup external). I have win7 64bit OEM

I want to... change my motherboard and a larger ssd and keep everything else the same.
can i do that and how?
Any help would be great, thank you

Get a z77 or h77 board depending on the processor and ssd what ever you require.

You can clone the small ssd to the larger ssd. Then install the larger ssd into the same port that the smaller ssd was in and it should work like the old ssd only with a lot more unused space.

EDIT:
Sorry, misread the post. You will probably have to start from scratch with a new MB. Save all the stuff you don't want to lose and install windows on the new ssd setting up the RAID0 configuration again in the process.

So why do you want to change it ?

If you get a Z87 or a Z97 board you will have to get a new CPU too. You can get another Z77 board and keep your current CPU.

the z77 "IS" the new board

What are you upgrading from? MB? CPU? Memory? And anything else would be helpful.
