hey ther people,
Ive recently been picking out parts for my pc build and I ran into a bit of a pickle
You see I want to futureproof myself. When windows 8 comes out or for faster boots of windows 7. I dont NEED an SSD but I heard that OEM windows cannot be upgraded directly to newer windows versions. So in order to install windows 8 I would have to ERASE everything on my OS drive. and that would contain all my data. I would lose all of my programs and games so I can upgrade my OS. so basically if I were to buy an SSD somewhere along the road would I be able to. install the OS on my SSD, make it the boot drive and somehow ERASE ONLY THE OS of the other drive? if possible how would I do this?
