To make a long story short, I was going from console to PC gaming and was doing several hardware upgrades. I started with the Dell inspiron 620(?) series with a 1Tb HDD. when i upgraded and slotted it into my new set up (custom) the HDD wanted no part in what was going on. I decided wanted a faster HDD anyways and bought one and got win 8.1 loaded on it.
The older HDD of mine has win 7 and is half full more or less. Is it possible for me to add this into my current system, boot my newer HDD first, wipe the older one and just use it as an expansion?
I just fear im going to cause some software issues with 2 OS on 2 different HDD and my system wont respond kindly to the conflict of interest. I have very limited knowledge with software and am pretty much in the dark.
I want to think its as easy as plug, wipe, partition, and go! but i have my doubts.
