[Lolcrokn]

Once i install windows on ssd , and re connect hdd which also has windows on it, and set my ssd as boot drive; Should i re-install mobo, gpu drivers and all that stuff or am i just fine because i will still use an old hard drive

 

Thanks in advance!

No, if you do a windows install you also need to install the drivers. But that is easy enough to do by downloading them from the manufactor site.

If you're installing to the SSD and booting from that SSD, when you boot up it'll be a clean install of Windows regardless of whether you add in the other hard drive too.

 

If you want programs or drivers installed you will have to install them. Most basic drivers should be taken care of by Windows update automagically though.

What do i do with old drivers on hdd

you should install all the drives then format your old drive you dont want it getting confused nd booting off the rong drive and you dont really need it installed on 2 drives that  will be in the same computer unless your doing different stuff on the other operating system.

What do you mean by format ? Just delete all from it or can i somehow get rid of windows alltogether

[joshfrog]

you would want to wipe the drive freeing up all the space

A format is indeed best. Just store your needed data somewhere else until you can put it on the formated disk.
