    Hey, I am really fed up with window's 8 tacky interface and inability to run many games. I bought a copy of Windows 7 ultimate and I would like to know how to install it cleanly. I have 2 partitions, a 100gig SSD (C :) and a 1TB HDD (D :). Should I just plug in the CD and install it while i keep many of my already installed games on the D or should I just format everything? Thanks in advance, If formatting both drives will ensure me better performance then I am prepared to do it.
