yeah, both my systems are just HTPCs. I honestly don’t mind having to reinstall OSes, at this point in my life it’s a fairly straight through process. I still remember how to do hidden OS recovery partitions from my OEM days if i really felt like it, but honestly my HTPCs have been pretty stable so the few and far between doesn’t bother me.
And with the data duplication from Synctoy that’s the main concern I have is my important data. I forgot to mention, but with this setup I could probably take an SSD from my other system and put it in this now new Win7 box which should make performance pretty darned nice 🙂
