Hi All,
Normally I would just blast ahead with this and "damn the torpedoes" but with a head thick with cold I'm happy to ask for advice.
I've got Win7 64 bit running fine on an SSD (see screenshots below), and Win 8 Pro 64 Bit in a partition on HDD also running fine. Vista 64 Bit is on the same HDD as Win 8 and is the licence I need to "lose" to comply with the Eula.
Step 1 - BCDEDIT shows the Bootmgr in F: (Windows Vista) and I would like to move it to C: Win 7. I have EasyBCD 2.2 - if I use that to "move" the bootmgr to the SSD do I have to do anything else? e.g. reorder the Physical Disks on Mobo, or BIOS?
Step 2 - Delete Vista Partition and Boot entry.
Step 3 - Install second SSD and move Win8 partition to it (I've reduced it's size to less than 128Gb) using Paragon 12 (I have Paragon 11 - would that do the trick?)
I'm only on Sata 2, BTW and UEFI etc are for the future!
Any ideas & comments etc?
Regards
Robin
