not needed. I recently replaced my cpu and motherboard and didn't have to reinstall windows. Just had to reoad some drivers. I would recomend a fresh install if you can back up your data though.

Well I don't have an external or anything to back everything up on to, and I don't fancy shelling out extra money for the sake of it lol.

I'll be doing a fresh install on the SSD since that'll be my primary drive, but afterwards I'll be putting my current HDD in too...

This is what I'm worried about, since my current HDD already has Windows 7 on it... will it cause any issues while booting up since my computer will pretty much have two copies of Windows on it? Won't it just ask me which drive I want to use when I boot up my computer?

no that shouldn't cause any problems. It should boot to your new install. I have two or three drives with windows on it in my computer. If it doesn't boot to the right drive, you can change it in the bios (press f11 during start up i think).
