Upgrading to Skylake appears challenging without a full reinstall because of driver conflicts after the motherboard change. You have two storage options: a 240GB SSD for C Drive and a 1TB HDD for E Drive. Since most of your Steam library and big files are on the HDD, moving Windows to the SSD might cause issues recognizing the E Drive during installation. You’ll be installing from DVD, so you’re safe from missing the setup, but you should be cautious about losing the large amounts of data on the HDD.

Avoid any issues by disconnecting the HDD before installing Windows 7 on the SSD. This is because Windows often writes certain boot files onto the HDD. If you remove the HDD later, you may lose the ability to boot into the operating system.
