I am currently running windows 7 on an SSD drive and I also have a huge HDD which is at capacity currently.
I wish to format my PC for security reasons and start with a clean slate. I also wish to change to windows 10 in the process.
I bought a large external USB hard drive a few months ago which has enough capacity for all the files on my PC.
I was hoping for some solid advice on what is the most efficient, safe way to format my SSD, and install a new operating system, without losing any files.
I should add, i have commit the eternal sin of losing my driver CDs that i got with my PC, this scares me tbh, should i be worried?
