I plan to upgrade my PC I want to uninstall and then reinstall windows 8 to the new SSD. The Windows 8 64-bit I have was a Download from the Microsoft download center. At the time it was on offer as a upgrade . I have been told by some one that Microsoft will not let me clone this to a new drive as the processor is different . Is this true and if so why as I always did this with windows 7 with no problems . Also can I do this as a fresh install instead if I am unable to preform a clone to my SSD . I plan to use the same motherboard all that will change is the processor from 2 to 8 Core and the HDD to SSD and 2 new graphics cards and a bigger case .
can anyone clarify this Please
