Should I Re-install Windows 7 on 2 machines?

[Omnificent]

Hey guys.

 

I want to get your opinions on something I am thinking about doing. I recently acquired an OCZ 120GB SSD. My secondary desktop (core 2 duo) has an older 80GB intel SSD in it. My i5 hp laptop has a 250GB mechanical drive in it. Do you think it would be worth it to re install windows 7 on the OCZ and my secondary desktop and then take the 80 GB Intel and re install windows 7 on my laptop. I don't use my laptop very rigorously and think it would give it ultra book like performance that would be nice for what I do with it. Take it to class, do hw, surf the web and what not.

 

It seems like a bit of work so I haven't done it yet.

 

Give me your thoughts and ask questions if there is something you want to know.

 

Thanks,

Steven

Here is what I think.

 

Install ssd on the system/laptop that you use the most. 

You are going to install OCZ ssd onto your desktop. I assume it is your main desktop and you will use it the most.

How much do you use your second system? Maybe you wife.syster/family uses it often then I would install ssd there.

 

If your second desktop isn't used much then I would recommend to use 80gb ssd with laptop.

I too have older 80GB intel ssd in my 300$ laptop. It makes a lot of difference and makes 300$ laptop feel like its $1000 desktop system.

 

So to sum it up. Use your second ssd with the system/laptop that you use the most.

Sure, do it.

 

I put my old SSD in my laptop and it's nice and snappy now, even though it's only got a Core i3.  Definitely worth it.
