First of all a warm greeting to everyone around, as I've just finished creating my account and joining the community!
As the title states, I have an issue I am not able to clear up for myself and couldn't (seemingly) find anything related on Google on the subject.
I've just finished building my new rig a couple of weeks back, and have become overly excited about the whole thing which caused me to mess around with my Windows 8.1 installation tweaking and installing all sorts of monitoring\optimization software which in the end rendered the system a bit unstable and I decided to perform a clean re-installation.
The process didn't go so well as I clumsily installed it on the wrong drive due to exhaustion and had to delete/install it on the proper one (SSD+SSHD config).
Yet another few days later on I wanted to try out my old Windows 7 Ultimate OS on the rig, but was unhappy with it and reinstalled 8.1 yet again.
Now finally unto my question, do the multiple installations/re-installations of the (Windows) OS affect the overall stability or snappiness of a system, or perform excessive wear on the storage drivers? I admit I am somewhat of a perfectionist and ending up installing Windows so many times on a new machine has me a bit worried. Of course I do not plan on keeping this up in the future, just on a need-to basis.
My storage configuration is a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD (for OS purposes) and a 1TB Seagate SSHD for mass storage and my Operating System I am and plan to be using is Windows 8.1 64bits. Also, the system is performing exceptionally well at the moment, so my question is more theoretical in nature I suppose.
Thanks in advance, and excuse my wall of text on the subject.
