Hi all!
i am moving my hard drive to a new pc, and was wondering if i could get away without formatting windows? i have been recommended to always always format after such a major hardware change, as windows won't like it.
however, i can't be arsed. so i was wondering if i could get away with just uninstalling (possible?) the current drivers (as many as possible) and install the new drivers for the new hardware. is this possible?
also, should i stick with what i know (XP) or make the change to win7 (having never used win7 OR vista)?
