  1. Have PC with pre-installed Windows on SSD, wish to add HDD that has Windows installed.


    I have a new PC with the Windows 10 preinstalled on SSD. I need to bring a cloned drive from a previous PC over to this new PC. This HDD has all the apps and data that I want to use on the new PC. Will this be a problem having Windows installed on two different drives? I assume that whatever drive boots first within the BIOS would be the active windows and I could run apps off the HDD as normal. Also, will I have product activation issues?

    :)

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
