High all, new to the forums so this will be my first post.
My question is simple, at least to me. I plan to build a new ethusiast pc at the end of the month or in mid October, and I would prefer to not have to do a fresh install. I currently us a 1tb 7500 hdd for my main drive; please don't ask me why I did this its a long drawn out response, and plan to move to a 2x 64gb ssd raid settup.
Side note: Right now I bearly use 100~130 GB of the 1tb drive and would like to set it back to its purpose of being a storage drive once the new build is completed.
I have an OEM version of windows 7 installed now and understand that switching to a new MB and settup will cause in issue with microsoft. I want to potentionally avoid this by using something like Norton Ghost to ghost the OS and many of the already installed games; most noteablly FFXI (yes I still play it), from the 1tb drive to the ssd raid. Is this phesable or should I just go ahead and get in touch with mircosft and do what is necessary for the new install?
