Re: Lightroom 'not enough memory (1)' Error on Export
Yeah the new drive will be the C: drive and any drives added with get their own drive letter. It's more complicated because most of the software installs registry keys that are on the old drive so you'll need to reinstall all your software again. It's well worth it for the speed increase you'll get. Also have the drivers to hand on a disk just in-case the Win7 install doesn't hold them natively.
Chipset, ethernet controller, graphics, sound and LAN card drivers are the usual suspects for being left out. It's a wee bit of work but it's worth doing to save you hundreds of pounds just replacing old for new. Not just that, everything is coming with Windows 8 just now that is a disaster, and thee main reason I switched to Apple.
In my experience cloning hardly ever works unless its like for like hardware in the event of a system failure. Different Hardware Abstraction Layer so it wouldn't work very well. You can get what's called a bare metal back up but you'd be better off just re-installing windows for the hassle it would be.
