Can I do this?

[Thelillypad123]

So I just upgraded my mobo and CPU and am currently installing windows. I have an OEM version, I have two hard drives, one with the windows on it along with all my info. So I decided to install windows on the other hard drive this time. Is this going to work, or is it being on my other hard drive going to conflict or can I simply delete it off when my computer finishes installing?

just change your boot order then if you want just reformat the old OS HDD

Just make sure you unplug the hard drive you're not installing Windows too, the Windows installer does some weird things, it puts some windata crap thingy in the second drive

So if I wanted to be able to use all the stuff on the other hard drive, for example: games, how would I go about that if I'm booting from the new hard drive

well you can reinstall them 1

you can get steam 2

you can clone the programs from clonezilla 

or you can boot from the other hard drive if you don't wipe it by booting form that drive
