Hi there,
I have been doing some testing of my new gaming PC (getting really rubbish scores on Valley) and have found that the really old HDD (about 8 years old SATA1) I have in there is probably slowing things down quite a bit, so I went ahead and bought a new WD black HDD. I was wondering how I copy everything from the old drive to the new, including the OS. Can I just clone the old disks to the new and then remove them? The thought of reinstalling everything sounds like a nightmare. Any thoughts on why I am getting such terrible Valley scores, are my thoughts of the HDD correct?
Really appreciate your help.
Spec:
FX8350
AMD R9 280 3Gb graphics card
Corsair Vengence 1600 16gb
ASUS sabertooth 990fx R2.0
