Should I just start doing a Win7 'Files backup' using the standard Windows backup?
Easy transfer is apparently nerfed in Win8.
I've taken HDD's with Win 7 on them, and moved them to new Intel boards with different chipsets and CPU's. When it boots the first time it will probably fail.
Boot to Safe mode, remove all the chipset drivers and reboot it then. It should make it, and when it boots, then you can refresh the hardware and let it search Windows update for new / necessary drivers.
If you do a bare metal backup in Win 7, you can install it to new hardware also. I still prefer 3rd party tools for it, but its possible.
O&O's Diskimage is $30, and it has the ability to create a bootable medium that you boot and reinstall your system with. I used this to move from a failed RAID0 to a RAID1 setup w/o an issue.
It's a horrible idea to let windows update touch any of your drivers. Always download them directly from the OEM website. Everyone should disable the option of Windows update updating device drivers. WU often contains downright broken or old versions of drivers.
