July 5, 201213 yr Hey guys I’m in the middle of a major system upgrade, basically what I have is I’m replacing my processor/mobo and putting in an SSD. What I have now is i7 870 with and Intel board, what I’m getting is an i7 3770k with an Asus P8z77-v Deluxe mobo. I will have three drives, a DATA drive, a FSX drive, and the SSD will be my BOOT drive, right now I boot off my DATA drive. what I want to know is will it affect my system performance or cause any problems if I just rename my DATA drive, install windows on the SSD and move the SSD to the top of the boot priority list so it boots off the SSD and not the "old" DATA drive....sorry if that was really confusing!!! If you need me to explain something just let me know! Thanks guys, Zack Zack Hilmer (this is not mine)
July 6, 201213 yr Should work without any problems since you're installing to a new drive. Your other drives will be unaffected in the installation. You'll still need to reinstall any software you had on the DATA drive. Best regards, Jim
