Sweet - good job!  On your third or fourth beer at this point? 

@SF_Green - Thanks!  LOL... I must've had a few too many maybe because I kept cutting myself on the Zalman CPU fan fins when trying to remove the old HDDs.... man those things are lethal!

I made basically the same upgrade on my system with no issues.  I had an Acronis backup of my C drive and reinstalled off that and it went smoothly!
Hope yours went as smooth ; )

@Californiamusic - You and I are of the same tribe, my friend.  I make an Acronis .TIB file constantly after any major upgrade (but not before first restoring the previous image then making the changes or upgrades).  This keeps my C: drive so clean.  There are few things in the world that feel as good as booting up into a fresh, newly installed OS (and the beauty is, with Acronis I don't have to actually do the new OS install each time)!


This most recent project could've benefited from an Acronis disk image of the RAID drive, but I choose to just copy the files/folders as is and it did go pretty smoothly.  Thanks!!
