win7 boot drive swap

• epigraph

  My computer needs a major upgrade.

  I have win7 x64 installed on a SSD boot drive.

  If I build a new i7 system, (mobo, processor, ram), will it boot if I plug in my current boot drive?

  I figure Id def have to update all drivers and such.

  Windows Validation may not like it.

  I'd just copy all your data on the SSD to a separate HD to back up the data, then reinstall Windows on the SSD when it's thrown into the new machine.
