    Windows installed without disconnecting other storage devices - what should I do?


    I installed Windows 10 without disconnecting other storage devices. I didn't know that this is an issue until I realized that the EFI folder is not where I expect it to be. I now have an empty 349MB large partition and the EFI folder is on D.


    What are the implications of this? Could I simply copy the EFI folder to the free partition?

    Or do I have to reinstall Windows?


    Thanks!

    :)

    How do I install windows 10 without harming my windows 7?


    Here's what I suggest you to do:
    1. From Windows 7, download & Install Macrium Reflect Free. Connect one of your new 500GB HD and clone your current Windows 7 to it. Follow step 1,2,3 from the screen shot:

    1. Disconnect your current Windows 7 then boot up with the new cloned copy of Windows 7
    2. Upgrade it to Windows 10 so it will be fully activated.
    3. If you decide to keep Windows 10 then do a fresh install of Windows 10. If not, disconnect the 500GB HD containing Windows 10 then re-connect your Windows 7
    4. You are back to where it was before.

    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.
