Will this permit to erase all existing OS (inc. 10.4.11) and install OS 10.2 as well as OS 9.2.2?

This depends on your particular model of Macintosh. If your Mac originally came with a version of 10.3 or higher, you will not be able to install 10.2. If the Mac originally shipped with 10.2 or lower, then yes, you can erase the OS and install 10.2. As for OS 9, I believe only the PowerPC Mac, not Intel Macs, can install those.

No, you do not have to delete the starter version. Just follow the one-screen prompts & input your key-codes to activate. First thing after that, immediately go to Windows Update and download all the current patches, etc. You should have no problems.

No, but if you want to transfer your existing operating system with files and programs intact - a transfer kit is the easiest way to accomplish this. If you are doing a clean install than you do not need the transfer kit, but you will have to reinstall windows- hopefully if this is your intent than you will need a windows installation disk or the manufacturers recovery software

The OS on this unit is actually going to be Win7 PRO 64bit. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Thank You,ServerMonkey

Yes, I'm sure you can. As I understand it, Microsoft maintains a record of your Windows software associated with your computer, not your hard drive. Your clean install at a later time will require deleting the original install if both drives are present at the time. In a worse case scenario, you might have to call Microsoft customer support if you have a glitch; just explain to them what you are trying to do and they will get you through it.

You are not going to use the "OLD" OS, so it doesn't matter what shape that OS is in or what motherboard it was used with. You are going to format the drive and install a brand new clean copy of Windows 7 64-bit, right? You can't just plug in the old hard drive and expect it to work, besides, that was 32 bit and you say you want 64 bit, so you HAVE to reinstall the OS? I'm unclear as to whether you want to install 64-bit Windows, or keep your old 32-bit! You can't do both! Are you sure you are qualified for this work? Actually we already know that you are not, because if you were, you wouldn't need to ask these dumb questions. Over and Out.

Yes, typically when installing a new operating system a clean install is recommended. Just backup all your important files/docs before because a clean install will of course clean your hard drive of all files!

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

Hmmm... Not so fast :)The original drive has all of the lookup tables and the WHS operating system on it.Replacing that would require a complete reinstall of the product. You cannot un-mount the OS drive for replacement.

I don't think so. its seems you are set up with a dual operating systems you have the choise of booting to windows 7 or linux mint but you vcan not run both operating system at the same time.

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Is the license on this like the OEM license where it's stuck to one machine, or can I move it to a new system if I upgrade?

It depends in which software that you use, I believe there is some paid software that can clone only the OS but as always it is recommended to just reinstall straight onto the SSD

No, you need to remove it and put it in the 'source' bay. You then need a drive at least as large as the original for the 'target' bay. If the 'target' drive is larger, you can tack on the additional space after you clone it, install it and boot into the OS (i.e. using disk management on Windows computers).
