So I'm buying 2nd hand computer parts (mobo,gpu,cpu,ram) and going to put it in a new tower I've never used. I'm also planning to put in a HDD with windows 7 installed and pretty much all my files, along with a fresh hard drive that I already formatted in my other desktop (the same computer the windows 7 hard drive is coming from). The mobo I am going to install was in a machine that ran windows 10 and ran a 256GB SSD.
My questions are:
Is it possible to just put in the 2 hard drives and just configure everything, with little to no complications and everything works fine?
Can I use the fresh hard drive that I already formatted and put it in with my new build and buy a new copy of Windows 10?
If the person I am buying from gives me the CD key and disk, can I just install that onto the hard drive I am putting in.
or am I better off buying the SSD (256GB) that was paired with the rest of the computer parts.
Sorry for noob questions, this is going to be my first build.
