New pc - reinstalling windows 7

[kevo56]

Hi Guys & Girls,

Just a few questions regarding windows 7 install - (forgive me if they're pretty obvious...I just want to be sure)

Info - I'm currently running windows 7 64 bit on my current system. I am just after buying a new pc and want to install my OS on my new SSD. I'm going to keep the old raptor HDD for my new system also (the raptor HDD currently has the OS on it)

Right...Questions -

1. Can I install windows to my SSD using the same product key yes?
2. How can I/whats the best way to completely remove the OS from the raptor HDD and just use it as a storage device

I want to use the 120GB SSD for the OS & some of my games - (Origin & Steam)

Would really appreciate any help/advice I receive.

Thanks!
Kev

Yes, but the old one will not be usable, as only one can be activated at the same time.

Use SSD for system+page+programs and documents move to the raptor.
