I have Windows 7 on a 120 Gig SSD.
I have Win8 on a 150 Gig HDD.
I want to swap the OS's, putting 8 on the SSD, and 7 on the HDD.
So far, I've made Ghost images of both drives, and the system reserved partitions.
I have a boot-able thumbdrive, and multiple ways to make the ghost images available [External HD, Server, large Thumbdrives] so restoring them will not be an issue.
The largest OS uese 89 Gigs, so that is not an issue, and I will redo several installs of software, but that's not important right now.
Are there ANY concerns with doing such a swap?
Suggestions to make it easier?
I'd rather not, but I can change the connections of the SATA cables if I HAD to! The BIOS is pretty advanced, so I don't expect that to be an issue.
