OK ....
so i got a few freebie donor parts:
- asus m5a97 pro mobo
- coolermater 360 elite case
- 320gb hdd
- 500 watt psu
- 4gb ram ddr3
however, i already have:
-akasa case
- 650i ultra nvidia mobo
- 500w psu
- nvidia 8800gts gpu
- 2 gb ram ddr2
- 500gb hdd
basically, i want to reformat the 320gb drive so i can move everything off the 500gb so that i can use the 500gb on the new mobo with old gpu, case and ddr3 ram.
i understand that u cant just swap hdd around without causing too much strife ... so im asking 'whats the most efficient way of doing this whilst keeping all my programs etc?'
plus, i want to move from vista to win7 - which i have on disk. can i keep the lot, including files, when i transfer?
any advice from u guys would be greatly appreciated. im no expert like u r!
phew! thats a big ask!
