I am also not clear how written in stone these UALA's are.
In the distant past going w98 to XP I initiated the install and only
had to put a win98 cd in the drive to verify.
like I said, not sure about now. since <:-| clean is generally always
better. That could be easily tested I think. Unhook the old drive are
test it to the SSD.

At 02:52 AM 8/25/2013, Winterlight Poked the stick with:
Back in December, when Microsoft had the promotional for Win 8, I
bought a couple of Windows 8 Pro upgrades... one with the download
and one with a DVD. I haven't used them yet, but plan on doing so
with my upcoming new build. I have read about the upgrade process,
and the new rules that require a running previous version that will
loose it's license, but I am not clear on some the details. Can
someone who has actually done this explain a few things.
Say you have Windows 7 running on a hard drive. You put a new
SSD in the computer, and install Windows 8 telling it to install on the SSD.
Will Win 8 install clean and allow you to switch the boot drive to
the SSD during the install process?
Does Win 8 install remove the qualifying version from the hard drive
so you can't dual boot?
Will your previous Windows 7 key now be void even if it is a retail
Windows 7 Professional key?
I have an old Vista and XP key that I could install and use to meet
this requirement, if I have to, but I want to be clear on exactly
how it works.
thanks
