Hi everyone,
I've just bought a new machine and, while I'll be using most of my existing HDDs, I decided to replace the disc containing the primary partition (Windows 7) since it's a little small and getting old.
I had planned to make an image of the drive and transfer it onto the new HDD, but before I did I wanted to double check that there wouldn't be any problems with booting from this new drive when the old one had been removed.
Additionally, would anybody anticipate any other problems with doing this? I'm guessing that Windows will want its license key re-entered given that various bits of hardware will have changed.
Thanks in advance!
