Afternoon all
my main PC is a Dell XPS8300 windows 7 64 bit desktop
I want to upgrade the hard drive from 1TB to one of the new 4TB hitachi ones
I'm planning to use Macruim reflect to clone the drive on the new one rather than reinstall all of the programs and OS
has anyone done this?
is it as straightforward as it looks? bearing in mind that I'm not computer savvy
on the main board there's 4 sata sockets and there is also a spare power lead for the drive
I'm planning to connect up the new drive into sata 3 do the cloning with macruim and then take out the old drive and put the new one in position 0
picture showing main board HD is on sata 0 and blue ray and DVD is on sata 1 and 2
