Hi,
This is probably a sill question but here goes!
I have one hard drive with three partitions;
C: Primary with Win 7 - original boot partition.
D: Extended partition with Win 8 installed dual booting with Win 7.
E: Primary with just data in.
I would like to move the Win 8 into the C: partition where Win 7 is and have a single Win 8 system.
There is nothing in the C: partition that I need. However I am hoping to keep all the installed programs that are in the D: Win 8 partition.
I understand that when Win 8 is installed as dual boot it rights to the original boot file of the original boot partition, in my case partition C: So, I assume a straight clone of the Win 8 partition would not work?
Any help would be greatly received,
many thanks in advance,
Martin
