Why would you not want to do a fresh install.

I'd suggest re-install. Yes there are 100's of softwares for Disc Copy, but can be a problem later with Registry Issues and all. So it's always recommended to do a fresh install atleast in case of Windows.

Moving to Software QnA, how does this fit to CPU / Motherboards?
