Hey fellow experts, I just recently checked the specs of my store bought computer and It had a 1TB Sata Interface HDD with windows 7 32 bit installed. I decided to attempt to save a 60 dollars and reuse that old HDD and install Windows 8.1 via clean install on it with my new build I'm doing. Question is whether or not is that possible.

Mother Board is an ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131877&cm_mmc=SNC-YouTube-_-NETV-_-rEnYVyNp16k-_-13-131-877

Rotational speed of HDD: 7200 if that matters at all.

Thanks!
