First and foremost thanks for allowing me to join this site and I hope to contribute in the near future.
I am currently building a new computer from the ground up. I have a 200GB hard drive with Windows XP Professional SP3 which was pre-installed on it. I just recently bought Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade Version) and I also plan on buying an Solid State Drive. I want to use the Solid State Drive for basic use such as MS. Office, MS. paint, Internet, etc and use the 200GB hard drive for storage of my media files. I would like to know the following.
1. Is it possible that a restore CD can be created for Windows XP Professional SP3 and then use the restore CD to install on the Solid State Drive and then upgrade Windows XP on the Solid State Drive to Windows 7 ?
2. If it is possible how can it be down ? (Step by Step)
3. Does the size of a Solid State Drive matter when using Windows 7 ?
Thanks in advance
