(Long story short: i have windows 7 on one drive with all my files and I already installed windows 8 on a new formatted one.)
How do i go about moving my files and programs? is there anything i need to watch out for or can i just move them and merge them?
more details:
My motherboard burned out so i had to buy a new one, meaning I also had to reinstall windows, so I figured I might as well upgrade to windows 8. It wouldn't let me simply install the OS and keep my files, so i had to format my other HDD and install it there.
This HDD has more than enough memory for me to use it alone, so i want to migrate all my files and programs from my original hard drive and do just that.
Can i just click and drag my Program Files folder and select Merge?
thanks very much in advance.
