So right now im running on a single 500g HDD and its almost out of space. Im looking to get a WD black 1tb pretty soon but im confused as to how to approach this. What i want to do is, format my 500g and use it strictly for media, then do a fresh install my UPGRADE version of Win7 on the 1tb. I dont know how the upgrade disc works. I dont know if i can just install the 1tb, format it, format the 500g, then boot from the disc and install to the 1tb? or install the 1tb, copy over the 500g to it, wipe the 500g, then install win7. am I thinking too hard or is there a simpler method that im just not seeing?
 
If you are not planning to use the 500GB as your primary drive then...
Install windows 7 on the 1TB.
It will be just like a fresh install, regardless of the fact that it is an upgrade disc.
Copy your data over from the 500GB
Format the 500GB.
Copy back any data you want to your freshly formatted 500GB storage drive.

You should be all set.

Not sure why you need a 1TB as your primary... It is difficult to fill up a 500GB with programs. Even if they are cutting edge games.. you would need a ton
