Hello,

I will be getting a new motherboard and processor soon. I currently have an SSD with my Win7 OS on it. I also have a HDD that I store all my programs, games, documents, etc. I am aware that I will need to reinstall Windows 7 on my SSD when I install it to my new computer. What I would like to know is that can I just plug and play my HDD and have all my data still intact and usable or will I have to format that as well?
